I had just walked out the door with my 12 year old son and got into the car when a stranger approached, crouched down and knocked gently on the window. Who is this guy? Why is he holding a framed picture in his hand? Is this guy selling art door-to-door or what is going on here?

I rolled down my window and he asked me if I was chorn74 (real name). I said.... yyeess.... He said happy Arb Day and introduced himself as my gifter. This has got to be a first... I've read threads about people dropping gifts on the doorsteps, ringing the doorbell and running away. Or people who have rung the doorbell and waited for someone to answer - with mixed results. Well, timing is everything and my gifter pulled in to drop off the gift as I was just about to leave.

Anyways, for those who are weirded out by the internet tapping on your car window... Well, you probably have the right reaction. However, my gifter did do the right thing and send me a message asking if it was ok to drop it off in person beforehand so all was good. Just kinda weird timing that he pulled in just as I was leaving. And also bad timing for him being my fridge always has a healthy supply of Lowenbrau in it. :D

Ohhh... yeah what did I get? I had asked in my preferences that if I was to get an artsy person that something for my bare walls or coffee table would be much appreciated. My gifter is a great photographer and he had gave me a framed 16"x19" picture he took of boston harbour. On top of that, I also received a monopoly card game that he plays with his wife. I really like games and in my preferences I had suggested that something for my son and I to do on a rainy day would be terrific.

Thanks very much no_frill, you really did an awesome job and I am anxiously awaiting the first person to ask me about the picture. Where did it come from? The interwebs of course... Cheers!
