Email exchange this morning:
Harold: Debbie and I have a new baby coming any day now [so I’d like to wrap up this purchase]. I’ll mail the initial payment today for you. When will you deliver the press? I probably need to give my guys here two weeks to get the space ready.
Equipment dealer: Good luck with the new baby. We can deliver at any time, so just have your guy call us when you are ready up there, many thanks
Harold: Didn’t know you got involved in midwifery HAHAHAHA. Will call when ready for the press delivery. Honestly, I’d rather you deliver the press instead!
Equipment dealer: Got me there. I will stick with Heidelberg deliverys, thanks
[Truth be told I have been known to call my Heidelbergs my babies.]
Our friend and fellow book lover Amanda recently gave us this ultra cool picture book: 
! The Boxcar Baby and the Boxcar Dad fought over who would get to read it at bedtime last night. After quite a tussle, the Boxcar Dad won. His favorite spread: when Gutenberg’s print shop got foreclosed because he couldn’t make his loan repayments. Read it and weep.
