"{S]o I can finally send my son his cannonball.

You're a lifesaver!

I'd been stumped on what to get The Spousal Unit for Christmas.

Well, see, my son found it about three feet underground when we lived in Newark CA, right at the south end of the San Francisco Bay. It has a couple of flat spots on it, and it weighs 16 pounds.

It could be considered a shot put, but for the location it was found, and the flat spots. It has moved everywhere with us since then, and he just kept forgetting to take it when he visited. So it has served as a door stop for me. I’m tired of packing it around. It’s his turn!

LOL! As a favor to the UPS man, I marked the little box “HEAVY.” It’s the least I could do. Now that it’s in a box, I have a hard time getting it up off the floor. :o]

I was going to try and take it with me, but with my luck, it would have been confiscated. So I opted to spend a little money and send it to him. I should have done it years ago.
