Star Wars Backpack

I've had a Star Wars backpack for a while, and today as I was leaving work the final thread gave out on one of the straps. So hopefully soon I am motivated to get it sewn back on. Yes, to some it would seem odd that I have one, but why not? Stay as young as you can for as long as you can. Turk Wendell, a baseball pitcher, said this while being interviewed on local TV when playing for the minor-league Iowa Cubs. It is from E-1, and I liked seeing Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan. May have written about it a little before, but when I use it on many days I think about it often.
    Another notable event at work was getting signed up for being a back-to-school shopping escort for kids, a volunteer event through the Salvation Army. I like trying to give back whenever I can, hopefully give some kids things I wanted but didn't always get while I was younger. I am referring to intangible things like politeness and patience.
   Got an oil change done on my car after work, probably let it go longer than I should have. But I've had the car for just over 7 years now, longer than any other car I've owned. After this I went to a Barnes and Noble bookstore to use up the remaining amount on my gift card. I had bought a book about military forts from the Plains Indian Wars before. Was unable to find an autobiography of Theodore Roosevelt like before, but I can go online and order it if I want. I will admit that seeing an online article about the bookstore chain being for sale prompted me to go use it.
     I ended up getting a Lady Gaga CD instead, The Fame Monster. It's a good primer for her concert coming up. This is yet another way to stay young- with music. I ended up using three cards to pay for the purchase, one was the B and N card of course. The other 2 were gift cards I got from the points on my Speedy Rewards account. One of them had just 3 cents on it, the other I had just acquired earlier that night. There was a card inside the CD that advertised 'heart beats', a type of in-ear headphones. It's endorsed my the musician, as you see her drawing a heart and then signing her name. Sound is fashion is her claim on it. Good photography on it, but good music as well, as I like 'Bad Romance', 'Alejandro', and 'Telephone'. Will have to listen to all 8 tracks, as sometimes I like the songs that don't get much airplay. So the Mother Monster is likely pleased how I added this CD to my library, but not the first of Gaga's that I have. Already had one with various remixes of 'Just Dance'. In the Rolling Stone magazine interview from last month it had both of her CDs on the top 40 for sales.
   Now this has to be a rare event, mention of Teddy Roosevelt and Lady Gaga in the same writing. But the bookstore does have both available.
