The Holiday Season

I was going to post some pictures of my new place, of which I'm quite proud, but I've temporarily misplaced the cable that connects my camera to my computer. A lot of work has gone into putting 277 Highland Ave., #2 into shape. Work by not only myself, Irene and my roommate Steve, but also my friend Kevin (who put up our dartboard--he's just a handy guy). And did I mention Irene? She not only did she secure several pieces of our furniture, including our coffee table and my bedroom desk, but she also went through the trouble of painting several pieces of it. A very nice "beer barrel brown."


I'll have pictures up soon. In the meantime, lacking my camera cable I got to thinking about things I need, and what others might need. You know, for Christmas. Dad put the kibosh on the Beer of the Month club so the field is wide open. Feel free to leave suggestions in the comment section (I might clue Amy in to this little project, too, so she can chime in).

As for me, both you and Irene have done a good job supplying me with dishes. The next logical steps are pots and glasses. After getting those pictures from Uncle George, though, I realized that I don't think I've ever seen the entirety of your wedding pictures. I'd like to. Maybe you two could make an album of copies of them for me? How's that for a fun little project?

Oh, and I was also looking over things to do in Chicago, and it looks like the Museum of Contemporary Art has some good stuff going on (again). And we still need to get some proper deep dish pizza. Irene and I'll need to restock carbs after running the Naperville Turkey Trot.

Gobble, gobble.
