Kathleen has been watching me gather Christmas presents for other people and store them under the bed for the last few weeks. Almost every day I was in Reno she would call me and tell me another package had arrived and I would say, "Don't open it. Just put it under the bed." And she has watched as the pantry filled up with dried fruit in anticipation of making the Christmas Fruit Cakes. Well, yesterday she asked me to write a Christmas list for me. So, in no particular order here it is.
1. A trip to Seattle and back on The Coast Starlight.
2. A subscription to First Things Magazine.
3. A stay in the Old Faithful Inn.
4. A Fiskars garden trowel.
5. Baking paper.
6. A 20th century table lighter and ashtray set.
7. A copy of These Truths We Hold.
8. A SW/LW/AM/FM/WB radio by C. Crane or Eton that has an antenna port so I can run an antenna up to the roof, and can use AC or DC power or DC only with an adapter. A transmitter would be cool too but that might be too expensive.
9. A box of MREs.
10. A subscription to Ancient History Magazine.
11. The Lamp.
12. An icon of the New Martyrs of Libya.
13. An Icon of St. Basil the Fool-for-Christ.
14. Any book by Fr. Dimitru Staniloae
15. A meatloaf pan.
16. Russel pull-on boots for hunting.
