Operation 88 Keys was a success!
For those who don't know, for our one-year anniversary I surprised Jenny with a piano. The whole clandestine enterprise was hampered by her current night float schedule, meaning that if I wanted to keep it a secret, all the pieces had to fall into place after 5:30 pm. At the last minute I managed to recruit some hale coworkers (mainly with the promise of beer) to assist with moving the corpulent klavier and, excepting a bit of rain while driving the piano home, it all went off without a hitch.
Well, technically there was a hitch, as that's what I had to attach the rented trailer to. That's a story of its own, really, because I borrowed Larry's Vandura for the job and the alternator crapped out just after I returned it...
Anyway, the tuneless, soulless piano was in the living room in time to surprise Jenny the next morning (along with a collection of Tchaikovsky sheet music), so -- all the subterfuge aside -- I'm a hero. I didn't have the foresight to have the video camera ready when she saw it, but I fished it out just in time to catch her playing one song. I'll post the video when I get around to uploading it.
