Nice Surprise.

Guess what? You get a free rental on your birthday at Hollywood Video. I can say it was a genuinely nice surprise for me. What's ironic is that the video I rented wasn't even for me, it was for a church function. Anyway, now my daughter is all excited to go rent a video on her birthday, which is still six months away.

Here's the really big news, though. We now have a freestanding Starbucks in town. I think we have to be the last town in America to finally get one. Now all we need is a Whole Foods and maybe this will start to be an OK place to live. I'm not holding my breath, though.
