So this package comes in the mail the other day; no return address. I open it up and it is a signed copy of "Maphead" by Ken Jennings! No note, letter or card; just this awesome book!
I have no idea who sent this to me; so I'm like, maybe it was Jennings. LOL
I show it to SWMBO and tell her the story; she laughs out loud too. She looks at the sticker on the back and says: maybe it's this guy; Schrock, Gavin. And I'm like Gavin Schrock!? Wow! What a nice thing to do!
Thank you Gavin, you are the coolest Dude on the planet!:clap:

You'll love the book!!! Ken is quite the word-smith of the first order.
Equally a good story teller as well.
Gavin sent me a signed copy as well.
If you happen to be a Dr. Who fan (a Whovian as I am), just get Gavin going on that.

Gavin interviewed Ken Jennings not long ago.
After seeing that, I downloaded a sample from Amazon which I haven't gotten around to finishing yet. I have read enough to know that Ken is a very interesting fellow.
