Mind murmur - consistency flows throughout

I have learned to know and trust what I like and want.  I am so please when several or more of my likes and wants converge, which is what happened recently.

A recent chosen luxury is my subscription to The New Yorker.  The October 17th edition includes Adam Gopnik’s article about The Phantom Tollbooth, which is celebrating its 50^th year. 

This past Saturday, my Son and I attended the RI Festival of Children’s Books and Authors at the Lincoln School.  Norton Juster was one of the Authors!  My Son and I met and spoke with Mr. Juster, who signed the copy that we purchased. 

This convergence provided a fabulous current experience.  It also revived childhood memories.  I remember owning and cherishing The Phantom Tollbooth.  However, I can’t recall reading it; I didn’t read very much.  I don’t know what happened to that book, but I have it again.  This time, I will remember reading it, which I hope too for my Son.      

Amazon.com -- Customer service success

Once again, I am so pleased that my amazon.com Prime account is one of my chosen luxuries!  Today's satisfaction is associated with my Kindle.  I have the fancy leather cover, which I learned was causing freezing/resetting.  The cover turned out to be of no value.  Having removed my Kindle from its cover,  I so simply communicated with Amazon's customer service (first by email and then on the telephone).

Two days after talking with a customer service representative, I have a replacement leather kindle cover at no extra cost, and no aggravation, to me!  Significantly, this cover is the one with the attached light, so I even made out better.  I could not be more pleased with Amazon and my Kindle, both of which once again have brought a smile to my face!      

Added to that simile were giggles when I read the cartoons in this week's The New Yorker, to which I have subscribed on my Kindle as a chosen luxury.  Laugh today, check!
