It's a Zip!

Kismet.

This morning I discovered my jacket's zipper pull to be missing.

This afternoon my friend Chris and I stopped in the Lego store for kicks.

Chris sweetly presented me with one of the three Admiral Ackbar key chains he purchased. (He has a bit of an obsession with their key chains.)

Amused by my new miniature buddy, it dawned on me to remove the key ring.

Admiral Ackbar is quite handy.

Thanks, Chris!
