I know I've been obsessing over one for ages and lo' and behold, she got me a 50 minute lance armstrong style full body massage at a spa
Oh I don't know. Roughly, I'd say any where betweem the words "style" and "at" would be nice. Okay, I wouldn't use the term "roughly". Well... maybe. Hmmm. Of course "lance" would be out; no sharp pointy things are allowed around when I'm buck naked.

Quit trying to live my life.

Okay, you can have a towel. For me, a female masseuse. There is just no other way.

HA! ... my wishlist changed for hoping that my father in law recovers successfully from the aorta replacement. He is a cool guy.

After the xmas trip to visit him to california, there will be no money left for anything in my wish list. All the gas money I saved by cyclocommuting will be spent on tickets, hotel, etc.

You spelled "Hakkapeliitta" right, but got "sonw" wrong?

ONCE longsleeve jersey
9spd D/A 12-21 cassette and chain

(I'm pretty sure I'm going to get these since I've already bought them and will wrap them and put them under the tree "from the kids.")

I'd also like a new wheelset, maybe some Ticos from Spoke Habit or some Rolfs.

Any correlation between the loss of the first item and the last three?

Unfortunately, it got lost this summer when we moved into our new place I was actually hopped up on ephedrine, which is quite effective when you're moving. I swear I did 3 truck loads of packing/unpacking in the time it would've taken me to do one.

Uhh... let's not make my substance abuse the focal point here

A full belly from a good meal.

Aside from continued health and hapiness, i don't have any wish list. not even socks. I've got more than enough and a sock backup to boot. I want less stuff, less materialist trappings of our conspicuous consumerist culture.

I wish we could all be a LOT less stuff oriented during the holidays. Think about all the kids in Africa.

I don't need much in the way of cycling stuff. My wife lets me or tells me to just buy "it" whenever I show her a catalog or an ad in a cycling magazine. Good wife.

The only thing on my list a speedy recovery from my shoulder surgery (Nov 29) so I can get back on the bike ASAP.

A Hummer, with a bike rack

I want to go for a bike ride with our son. He is Journalist in the Navy on the Essex stationed out of Sasebo, Japan and has not been home since 8-04 and has not been home for Christmas since 2002.

Boy do I miss him. He is such a jock, I know he will have to wait a lot for me but it will still be fun.
