Top Ten List
A few noteworthy things to come my way this Xmas (in no particular order):
1. The afore-mentioned cycling shoes
2. GameCube & Super Monkey Ball--I had no idea what giggly, screaming fun it was
3. A present from from my brother and Brian--a play by Amy & David Sedaris! (If I can't eat her cupcakes, I'll gladly take her cheeseballs [no, this is not an innuendo, I really do like snack food])
4. A biography of the great church-reformer (and, most likely, manic-depressive), John Wesley
5. A Rough Trade sampler CD, also from Matt & Brian, full of potentially rare 1978 singles by bands from London, mostly
6. [has been deleted, ed.]
7. Finding McSweeney's
8. Some man cologne labeled "very sexy"

Not on the list, the Bertie Bott's Jelly Belly bean Gabe fed me. Grass!
Also not on the list, Sam pooped, finally, after over two weeks. He is, shall we say, a stubbborn child, and told us he didn't want to. But, in the end, even he was amazed at the size and length of the "product."
Also an unwelcome arrival: Lauran got the flu Xmas Eve.
