There are plenty of things that I think he needs, but definitely doesn’t want – a hat with ear flaps, a pair of serious galloshes – stuff that would just collect dust in the closet. I know him, and what he really needs to feel at home away from home is some pro sports memorabilia: a banner, a New Orleans Saints poster, a New Orleans Saints high definition wall clock…you get the picture. I just bought the clock for him because it’s good-looking and I figure he will use it throughout his bachelor years (may they last a while yet, because I’m not ready to be a grandma). That’s the sort of thing I’m talking about, things for his room that don’t cost a lot, but will mean a lot to him, maybe even for years to come.

By now, it’s winter where he is, and it will be until May or June, no kidding. However, I know that the only season that he’s really concerned about is the Saints’ NFL season. Anyway, I’m not going to let either go by without sending him his share of care packages. They’re full of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and New Orleans Saints fan decor.
