Actually, this is me receiving a gift, a very nice one in fact from my girlfriend’s aunt and uncle. It got lost in the shuffle of Christmas, so I got it later when I was in Jersey for playoff football. They sent me a waterproof hiking map of the region that contains the tallest point in Texas, which is perfect for my quest to conquer America’s highpoints<\/a>. It also helps out with my side goal of using the quest to connect with friends and relatives from that state. Thanks for a great gift!<\/p>\n

The thought of gifts leads me to the wtb’s impending birthday. I have no idea what to get her. Using the concept of negative space I am making a list of all the things I know I shouldn’t get her, based on what she has said recently:<\/p>\n

turtles
\nuniversal remote control
\nmedia center computer
\ncell phone
\nSteelers charm bracelet
\nBeerfest on Blu-ray DVD
\nwii<\/p>\n

I’m still clueless, but I’ll probably end up buying something in the corner bodega, either coffee or Bollywood CDs.<\/p>\n
