As it is hard times and all I got what I wanted this year. I asked for a new wallet. I got it. My girl friend got me tickets to the AC/DC concert for Dec. 12. It was the best gift. I got some clothes and my Dad got me a spring assist Buck knife. I am happy. I got something this year. Hope everyone else got something.
Merry Christmas to all of you.

Very subduded Christmas as it was the first without Mom. We however had a wondefull meal and her art and pictures with us.
Me?, Well, times are tight here as well but I did get some kandy spray paints I needed and a Lil Yeller. So Im NOT complaining.
Glad all are happy and well, lets get through new years safe! We ALL have loved ones and friends who need us!! Here too!!

Despite the problems, I did get some cool stuff. My wife got me an actual piece of the original siding from the "Christmas Story" house! She also got me a hilarious ornament with Flick sticking his tongue to the flagpole that has audio from the movie! I think one of you guys posted a link to the Christmas Story house website a few weeks back, and I mentioned it, but I never guessed I'd end up with a small piece of history! It was a perfect gift for a geek like me! LOL. I also got a neat tin wind-up of Robbie the Robot from Forbidden Planet, and a new tool chest which I severely was in need of! Of course, my daughters and son got me the usual gaggle of socks and undies and DVD's, all appreciated! ;D

THAT'S JUST TOO FUNNY!!!! ;D ;D ;D I will have to share the picture with a friend/boss at the radio station because she is a HUGE Christmas Story fan Me on the other hand got a Ford Pinto watch (with the back legs that kick as a second hand). Vintage 1973 and still works great ;D Plus my loving wife got me a digital picture frame so I can use it at car shows and such to promote our club. It sounds like everyone had a pretty good holiday. let's just all hope for a better 2009  |

My wife has that picture of me at her office in her desk, not on it. One weekend they were moving desks around while she wasn't there and of course took the drawers out to make the desks lighter. Monday her boss was kind of afraid to ask her about it. I am now well know at her office.
