Christmas Gift Ideas

The holiday looms, and feelers both subtle and not so subtle regarding prospective gifts have already been detected. So for all those interested, here are some suggestions complete with helpful illustrative links...

For Me...
Dvd - Facing Ali
Dvd - When We Were Kings
Book - The Looming Tower
Book - Counselor: A life at the Edge of History
Game - Pitchcar Extensions 1 or 4 only
Gift Certificate - Defiant Gaming

Note - I really don’t need any more t-shirts. Unless it is very cool, please don't get me a t-shirt.

That said, these are very cool...

For the Kids...
You cannot go wrong with either Lincoln Logs or Lego (not Duplo)

For Jane...
Any thoughts I may have in this area are being hoarded for my own use.

And now, here is a recent picture I really like of Thomas and I in a tree at the Governor General's park. Even though we were all of 5 or 6 feet off the ground, he was extremely happy to be up in a tree.

  1. So PITCHCAR was that game we saw at Gencon!

    Also: "spayste" seems offensive.

  2. Yep. I already bought the basic set & expansions 2 & 3, but #1 was out of stock at the time.

    ...'spayste'?

  3. I have to say Tinker Toys are pretty darned good too. And you have a much more generous family than I do. Any presents that are under our tree this year are likely to be purchased by yours truly. *sigh*

  4. Sue - I may not actually get any of this stuff, but it cannot hurt to offer suggestions. I am helping :)
