Last night was my last birthday celebration of the year. My best friend was in town, and oh, how I'd missed him. I was also CONSUMED with curiosity about my birthday gift! He began mentioning over the summer that he was wrestling with coming up the perfect present.So imagine my surprise when I unwrapped this paperback. I've never heard of this book, much less asked for it. So I was surprised to learn that it was on the NY Times bestseller list on the day I was born. Also in the gift bag was a DVD of Bridge Over the River Kwai, the most celebrated the movie of the year I was born. Best of all was a press clipping about the Quarrymen, who played a small club in Liverpool the day after I was born. Fronting the group were an impossibly young (15 and 17, respectively) Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
It was a thoughtful, imaginative gift. My best friend done good.
What a neat idea! I'm going to have to keep that in mind the next time I have to come up with a cool birthday present.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me wonder what movie someone or book someone would give me....I know that the number one SONG the day I was born was "Hey Jude" but I don't know about the movie or book.
that was HIGHLY imaginative and EXTREMELY thoughtful - your best friend done GREAT!
ReplyDeleteGood for both of you; and, again, happy belated birthday, Gal!
What very well thought out gifts! That is awesome!
