Obligatory Christmas haul message
I did pretty well this year. Better than I epxected.
Martin arrived yesterday, plane landing right on time. Despite the DHS level Orange, parking was NO problem at all. I was able to get a parking space right outside the terminal by his gate. He had no checked bagage so we didn’t have to wait around for that. It’s really good to see him again. Too bad he can only stay until Monday.
Since I’m basically penniless and living with my folks and being supported by them, I didn’t expect a whole lot in the way of exciting gifts. Mom has forked out a bunch of money for dental care for me, and they’ve been paying for my schooling and everything else, so I can’t complain if I don’t get much for Christmas. As I expected a got a lot of (much needed) clothes. (3 pair of jeans, underwheare, a pair of athletic shoes and a couple of shirts). I got cologn from my neices, a nice bath robe and a big fluffy bath sheet (I’ve missed my good fluffy sheet that I left in Santa Cruz). I had both a PS/2 and a DVD-ROM/CD-RW on my list. I didn’t expect to get either one.
From Dad I got a DVD+-RW.
From David I got his old PS/2 and a bunch of PS/2 games.
From Martin I got a NICE cigar.
Still waiting for the single-malt scotch to show up from the airport. (He couldn’t carry that package on the plane with him, nor check it, so he had to air-freight it.)
