Has Mom been reading my blog?

Um... no, she hasn't; I don't even think she knows what a blog is. But here is the e-mail she sent me today, which is only funny if you look at the blog I posted earlier today.

Hi - I went through one of those bags you brought down - what a treasure trove!! You must have enough gifts just in that one to last a couple of years. Great work Steve!!!!

Have been trying - slowly - to go through some of the junk in this house. I have a bunch of tapes that you left here - Blake 7, Scarecrow & Mrs King, Star Cops, Henry V & Hamlet, and probably some more I've forgotten. If you still want them, that's OK, but if not I will probably donate them to the thrift store. I really don't mind keeping them - that's not the point. I just don't want to keep them if you have no use for them. Anyway, you can let me know whenever.
Love - Mom


So what is the real tragedy here?... That I actually have the entire Scarecrow and Mrs. King series taped off The Family Channel (when it existed) or that she saved all those videos all those years? Or is it that she thinks a thrift store will take 10+ year old VHS tapes with TV episodes on them? I must ponder...
