Lucky Tunes

Tuesday was my idea of April. Warm and windy, some sun, with a hint of rain now and then as clouds wandered by. The sort of day on which we weren’t beholden to Nicor Gas for heat. Friendly old Sol heated the house, no extra charge.

OSX has come into use in our home, only a few years behind the Mac curve. But it means important new things for us. For example, we acquired a box of Lucky Charms the other day that promised a free song on iTunes. With OSX, we access to iTunes. Choose from over 2 million songs! (According to Lucky, the cartoon leprechaun.) Two million, that’s quite a few tunes. Wonder if they have “The Horst Wessel Song” or “Giovinezza.”

Just another thing to mark the passage of my life, this offer from Lucky Charms. A song from among 2 million as a cereal-box premium—who would have thought of such a thing? Back when I was a young consumer of Lucky Charms, not only did the leprechaun look different, and there were fewer charms, but a premium would have been an actually, physical thing—a shillelagh maybe.
