Meet Succotash
I'm posting from Succotash, which is what I named the mini-HP my dad bought right before he died (he never actually opened/used it, and my brother claimed the 80GB iPod so I claimed this, especially since it's perfect to use in Japan). I named it Succotash because my dad really liked lima beans and he always asked me to get him succotash, only it's really hard to find unless you go to a real supermarket and go to the frozen vegetables section, which is what I eventually resorted to.
See, on Jan 6th I was walking back from South Street and I called him from Superfresh like "Do you want anything?" and he said "Succotash, and potato latkes."
It bugs me though, because the can of lima beans and the frozen bag of succotash are both still here... if it was so urgent for me to buy them for him, why didn't he eat them before he died? Sigh.
I figure that it's a good name that will remind me of him every day, pretty much.
Still not sure why he bought it though. My theory is that he wanted a lighter and cuter laptop to bring with him to the hospital, maybe.

But no, it's just before 3pm, and you're long gone or something. Heh.
Anyway, I don't think a "do you want anything" query implies anything really urgent. But then, I'm known to buy stuff and let it sit in my freezer forever.

...is it actually green?
