wolfsbrideA while a go, I did someone's tax and they gave me a $20 Itunes gift card. I never bothered with it because I was all eh about the whole thing. This year I did someone else's tax and they paid me and then gave me a fifty dollar Itunes card because they couldn't get it to work when they went to redeem it. Who ever had scrubbed the silver stuff off had done a bad job of it and the numbers and letters were hard to make out. I took it home and in a procedure that would have made MacGyver proud, I soaked a Qtip in some nail polish remover and carefully soaked the remnants of the silver strip. It took about ten minutes and a few applications but afterwards I had a pretty good idea of what the mystery code was.
Having recently discovered audio books, I now graduated to Itunes and with both cards, I had a total of seventy dollars to spend there. This is where I discovered old radio shows! I downloaded some Nero Wolfe and Sam Spade. I downloaded a Hercule Poirot. I've also downloaded a Sherlock Holmes that I haven't had a chance to listen to yet. I find it fascinating how they did all the sound effects back then.
