just the perfect amount of cowbell

santa (as channeled by mike potter) arrived a bit early at the griefer household this year.

i just got home from work to find a box from amazon waiting on the doorstep.  it was the flex 2 book by chafic kazoun and joey lott, with the following note:

Merry Christmas from the Adobe Flex Team!  Thanks for your interest in Flex.

i'd heard of this happening to others, but never thought it would happen to me (which yes, i do recognize sounds like the opening to a penthouse letter).

i'll actually be donating this to the bay area cfug for be used as a raffle giveway during the next meeting.  turns out i already had this particular book.  not sure if i forgot to move it to the 'purchased' items on my wishlist or not (it's there now... but that's either because i'd already done it, or because mike bought me the book... likely the latter).  i figure by donating it to the CFUG, it'll still be going to a good cause.  if you're going to be in the bay area for the next meeting (jan 21, 6:30 pm) stop by.  the topic is flex and AIR (ted patrick will be presenting), so it's somewhat appropriate, i guess :)

in any event, the thought and effort is very much appreciated.  thanks to mike and the entire flex team.  merry christmas back atcha!
