Forget Ground Hog Day. The first real harbinger of
Spring is the arrival of the new West Marine catalog.
In it I can find hundreds of pages filled with stuff that
I want and need, and never knew that before I got
this goddamn catalog in the mail. It so drives home
how spartan and ill-equipped my boat really is. It's
kind of depressing in a way, when you come to the
realization that there actually are people out there
that have everything in that catalog that you want.
I usually get music for Valentine's Day. The way I see it,
another five years or so and I will have a CD of every
album I've ever owned. It'll be a good while after that
before something new comes down the pike and makes
CDs a thing of the past. Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
Hey, I need another beer. Are you done with that can opener yet?
Still waiting on our catalog. I think the mailman has secretly stashed it for his own use. A visit to the store usually nets us a couple of extra copies for the office, boat, and car. Addicted? Perhaps.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for FEBRUARY to be over!
ReplyDeleteCatalog hit today. Opened it. No centerfold.....
ReplyDeleteI wish they would make all catalogs with eco-friendly inks that would burn cleanly in the fireplace.
