A few weeks ago I bought a snazzy new laptop.  (It’s a Sony VAIO.)  I’m still getting used to the new system and am in the process of moving my files.

I was eager to take my new laptop to the local coffee place.  I longed to be just like the other cool kids who are able to sip a latte and type away.  I realized to take the VAIO on the road I needed a bag or case.  I looked online and in the nearby computer store.  The models I was considering cost about $50.

I was still weighing my options when I went into my favorite thrift store.  It’s the cream of the crop of thrift stores. There’s no junk.  Everything is priced.  The store is organized.  I love it.  I was doing my usual perusal of the books and then I moved to the front of the store.  That’s when I saw them.  There was a stack of band-new laptop bags.  Evidently they’d been ordered for a corporate event and the order had been too large.  So the corporation donated them to the thrift shop.  The bags were great and the price was lovely.  I got my new laptop bag for just $10.00!
