November 17, 201015 yr ^ He already has a subscription to Bear Monthly! BTW Fitz, There's an article this month on picking the right plaid for your Daddy. ohyou.jpg
November 17, 201015 yr Hey Hey, PM is on the way. Music is the game, unless you disagree. Music is perfect. Well, some of it is. Yes, that'll work great. No hurry, no worry.
November 18, 201015 yr Peter, I apologize in advance. I have no idea what to get a metalhead I'm sure we can figure something out
November 18, 201015 yr He only needs one night with them. And you'll get them back with the leather conditioned.
December 5, 201015 yr Done shopping for my assignee. John is a high roller, kept creeping up the budget! I know, right? I had to respond though. So, booze and music, typical Head-Case style.
December 5, 201015 yr colin got his. I also picked up Dash, and his will go out when I get his address.

December 10, 201015 yr Done shopping for my assignee. John is a high roller, kept creeping up the budget! I know, right? I had to respond though. So, booze and music, typical Head-Case style. I kind of had to open the package and it looks just great! Glenn Gould A Consort of Musicke Bye Byrde and Gibbons Import I wanted more Gould and more Byrde, just didn't know what to get! Telemann Twelve Violin Fantasias for Unaccompanied Violin Princiotti Ditto for Telemann. Rodrigo y Gabriela 11:11 Always wanted some of this, also, perfect! Can't wait to listen - exactly what I was hoping for, thanks Marc! And apparently more on the way... Still waiting on yours Hopefully next week.
December 10, 201015 yr Yay! I absolutely love the Gould album, one of my favorites of all-time. The Telemann was based on interest in the Bach Sonatas and Partitas and 11:11 is such a cool album Now grab that other package from FedEx!
December 13, 201015 yr Mike told me he was into jam bands and jazz, but I thought I would surprise him with this promising local artist: No, seriously, your gift is on the way and I hope you enjoy the music!
December 13, 201015 yr Why are you guys so hung up on music being the only gift of choice? Some of you would benefit from a little companion like a pet hamster or something. Ask Edwood, they are loving and great entertainment......really.
December 13, 201015 yr Opened a delivery this afternoon to find my exchange goodies. Previously I've stuck such parcels under the tree and waited for the 25th, but as our tree isnt up yet, I figured I'd just tear it open Al and I decided to buck the CD swap trend, and pretend that we are politically and militarily highbrow philosophical chaps with a historical inclination. Each of us picking something something of interest for the other. I've recieved 4 books pertaining to The Great War: I look forward hugely to reading through them, and I hope that Al enjoys his parcel as much as I shall mine. Thanks indeed dear boy!
December 13, 201015 yr I'm so pleased you got yours and that I can admit I opened mine as well! I received the first book last week and opened it not knowing that it was from you. That was this one: Today, I received two more and figured I might as well open them too! [ATTACH=CONFIG]4088[/ATTACH] These are all awesome! I was WWII obsessed for many years when I was younger, and have maintained that fixation to today. As a pre-teen and teen, I built models, studied equipment and battles, and played WWII board games. My favorite game was Avalon Hill's Afrika Korps and Rommel was a particular fascination. I will read both the Rommel and the Viscount Slim (great name!) books with great interest. Now that I am drink-obsessed, the History of the World in Six Glasses will be a fun read and I have actually thought of buying that one several times before. As for the selection I sent you, three of them were consumed in my last great history-reading binge. Pat Barker's trilogy of books on the Great War steered me there because I felt like I knew very little detail about that period. Sassoon is a character in the books along with another poet Wilfred Owen, and I read a bunch of their work and the Fussell book, among others. I haven't read the biography but I think I am going to buy that one for myself as well. It sounded like the best telling of his life. I do hope you enjoy them. Thanks Doug and happy holidays!
December 13, 201015 yr The Slim autobiography is a real favourite of mine and there are some great lines in it too. I think you will like it. I would have loved to have met him but he died 15 years before I was born. Stupid birth timing. I did ask them to deliver them all at once, but I guess they got keen. Merry Chrimbo!
December 13, 201015 yr When I got back into town this afternoon I couldn't resist and opened up a package of unusual size and weight (for what was supposed to be a CD exchange). Lo and behold there was no CD to be found inside, instead there was a bottle of Sazerac 18, Dolin Rouge, and Fee Bros Cherry Bitters. Very much looking forward to combining these in a glass later, many many thanks Jim!
December 13, 201015 yr What? No ice in the parcel too? Can we adopt "Manhattan in a box" as an entry in the HC cocktail book? I'd buy a copy.
December 13, 201015 yr Author I'm feeling like the gifts I got for others are completely inadequate now, coming after book sets and fine liquor. I lack creativity.
