Saying thank you [

Sep. 9th, 2008 11:23 pm Salome was never good with surprises, or waiting, she tended to go through all the Christmas gifts before Christmas to figure out what they were. With movies she always wanted to know the end before the movie even started so she wasn't caught off guard during the middle of it. So she didn't wait until it was the Major's birthday before getting him his gift.
The gift was two tickets to the Los Angeles Neil Diamond concert October 4th with back stage access. Apparently with enough name dropping and money you could still get anything you wanted. At least some things were alright with the world. The tickets and passes were sent to his home in a plain, large manila envelope with a note inside.
Dear Major,
Like all things, I really can't lose, so here you are. The second ticket is for you to take whoever you want to, and hopefully you'll enjoy meeting the man in person. Tell you the truth, I am kind of surprised he's actually alive still. Anyway, I got you this far, I leave the company and the Scotch up to you, since we both know that as a minor I'm not allowed to buy or consume alcohol much less ship it over state lines.
Thank you, for, you know, the usual.
Salome.
