SO WE PICKED MY BROTHER IN LAW UP FROM CHEMO TODAY — hence the light blogging — and took him home. He was doing as well as anyone can do under those circumstances, but the hospital was, as usual, in hurry-up-and-wait mode, so we spent a lot of time on the chemo floor, which is pretty depressing.

But we got home to a “gift pack” from Amazon Grocery. Lots of snacks, coffees, and assorted other goodies, including a miniature flashlight. I don’t know if it’s some sort of blog-promotion gimmick or, more likely, something aimed at big Amazon customers, which we certainly are.

I wonder if this is in response to the investors’ concerns about the Amazon Grocery business that I mentioned a while back?

UPDATE: Looks like they’re casting their net pretty broadly, as quite a few other readers got this, too. Reader Kevin Hisel writes:

I am only a so-so Amazon customer (an order every month, tops) and I too got the goody box gift. I’m certainly not a well-known Internet figure.

So there you are.
