I got inspired and wrote 3 short stories.
I got a 1lb bag of DirtRag coffee.
I got a pair of wool DirtRag socks.
I got enough money to renew my DirtRag subscription (Karl will be pleased)
I got to hear my dad sing all the songs off the Folk CD I gave him and hear stories about his band, "The Wanderers," and how they would play Food Festivals for $20 an hour and discount the price for getting to eat. I heard about how they played a small coffeehouse called the "Fickle Pickle" down on Rush and Oak (as he recalls) and how he met "The Brothers Four" in Macomb, IL when they played down there in the early 60s. And by far, these 2+ hours spent with him were the best gift ever.

Very cool! Not being into the standard sappy family stuff-I must admit, after losing my mom to bone cancer in 1997 and not seeing eye to eye on basically anything with my dad... getting to hang out with him all day yesterday so he could see his grandaughter for the first time since she was 4 weeks old(and she's 4 years old now)... was pretty great. Just seeing my daughter look at him and say, "Hi Grandpa, so where have YOU been?! I've been missing you!" and watching my dad well up was a special X-Mas gift and memory.

I got Mr. Wonderful!

I got Mr. Wonderful for Christmas. You push a button, and he says things like:

"The ballgame isn't that important. I'd rather spend time with you!"

"Here, you take the remote. As long as I'm with you, I don't care what we watch."

"Aww, can't your mother stay another week?"

"Let's just cuddle tonite."

"You know, Honey, why don't you just relax and let me make dinner tonite?"

"Actually, I'm not sure which way to go. I'll turn in here and ask directions."

The important thing is that you realize this is only available in doll form.

I got a set of Park Tool Brushes from my brother (maybe I'll start taking a little better care of things), and a Topeak Alien from my parents. My cousin also decided to save her newspaper baggies for me to use as feet covers in wet weather, after she read about my need on my blog. Thanks to all.

Handlebar : Deda 215 , italian bend ( shallow and non anatomic )
Why is it so hard to find curved bars when so many of the pros use them ?
