130 Lush September 28, 2009 at 12:33 pm: Love Saddleback (I have a briefcase and my wife has the messenger bag), but I DON’T love Twitter. Amazing how many people want to sign up for sites like that to post or read inane things. Best of luck to whomever wins – you’ll love the bag.

Why I should win the Saddleback Leather Laptop Bag?

I blogged about this on my personal blog about a month ago*, but basically I need the perfect laptop bag for my new job. Don’t worry, I’ve done my research and have unequivocally decided that this is the bag for me. After looking through the Saddleback website, it appears that I’m definitely a Light Tobacco Brown personality.

I appreciate you and Saddleback coordinating this giveaway, and look forward to hearing if I am the big winner.
