There is some question that I might never have time for this again. Luckily, I have spent some time drafting posts for the future, so I am OK for a few weeks. But lets start with the important stuff. So was Santa good to you? Let's hear about it. Here is the list of things that Santa (and a very good Mrs. Brave Astronaut) put under my tree this year. And yes, this may be substituting for thank you notes in some cases!
- For my birthday from the OSG Family - A new diaper bag, I had been coveting OSG's.
- A neck pillow for falling asleep in the car, just not while I'm driving. (Mrs. BA)
- A calendar of Lighthouses in France, already brought to my office and hung up (from Mrs. BA's sister)
- Billy Joel's 12 Gardens Live (somebody's been reading the wish list!)
- A new sweater and dress shirt for work (from my MIL)
- The DVD that has the line, "I'll have a steak sandwich . . . and a steak sandwich" and this one, "It's all ball bearings these days."
- This DVD. It's a long story. [from the OSGs]
- While this DVD had my son's name on it, I think it was really for me.
- The Book List (I did very well in this category)
- The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid - Bill Bryson
- The House: The History of the House of Representatives - Robert Remini
- Home Maintenance for Dummies (these three all from Mrs. BA)
- American Creation - Joseph Ellis (tucked in the pocket of the above bag from the OSGs)
- The Code [all about fighting in the NHL], from one of Mrs. BA's co-workers and good friend
- Ghost Wars - Steve Coll (winner of the Pulitzer Prize, inscribed and autographed by the author)
- The book from which the movie, "A Christmas Story"
- The Totally Useless History of the World by Ian Crofton - ooh! Blog fodder [both from the OSGs]
