The scary aisle


My brother needed some Mother's Day reinforcements the other night, so we took a quick trip to the frightening mecca that is SuperWalmart. We went to the card section -- after passing the brilliantly placed "quick grab" gifts of ice tea makers, candles, flowers and candy -- and were faced with a sight that probably only has its match on Christmas eve in a stocking stuffer aisle: men, and men with their young children, grabbing at every heavy-card stock, flowered, singing, script-emblazoned greeting card they could find an envelope for. Art to follow as soon as I get back to Virginia.

For the record, I purchased all of my cards 2 weeks ago -- when the getting was still good.
