After procuring a 16 gigabyte iPhone 3GS earlier this summer, I promised Nephew Peyton the two gigabyte Nano I would no longer be using. Although the promise was made months ago, it wasn't until this evening that I finally got around to fulfilling it.

Following a lengthy restoration and renaming process, I burdened the tiny metal wafer with as much music as it could shoulder, charged its battery to full and slid it into a padded mailing envelop. Just as I was drawing the envelop toward my mouth to be licked, I paused, lowered it to the table and grabbed a pen.

And this is what I wrote:


When considering Nephew Peyton's age (six), the above note may seem slightly overwritten, which is why I printed the front of the card in a language I know he'll understand.

  1. You sound like the best uncle ever!!

    My uncle, on the other hand, is a whole other story. Pretty sure something got lodged up his ass about 30 years ago and hasn't worked its way out since. : p

    Keep up the good work!

    I'm curious, how did you acquire the handsome nose-picking photo?
