So I send Carla and Czarcasm Jr. To Seattle on Monday to attend World Con, and he posts a video on YouTube about his first soldering attempt-a little TARDIS pin with a battery powered blinking light on top that is _so_ cute! I replied that I would really love to have it…then I had a chat with My Beloved explaining that Of Course I only wanted it as a gift for her! I realized right off the bat that if I wore it in front of her she would very soon have possession of it…and the part of my shirt it was pinned to. If I was lucky.

Maybe you should try to get him to obtain one for each of you. 😉
