I think my first big purchase was actually for my mom. She had one of those '90s TVs in her living room that's like a 10x10 brick so I purchased her a flatscreen for her living room.
My mom is in the navy and my dad works for the army but I never called them...
For a country to have a great writer is like having a second government. That is why no regime has ever loved great writers only minor ones.
