  1. Hello Snappy –
    Everything’s fine except that I can’t see very well!

    Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

    I’ll try to make the party and have ordered some kid’s gifts. The problem is that ever since I’ve been an adult (for decades now!), I haven’t been around kids much and have no idea what to get for them. Every year I spend many many hours on line trying to figure out what to get for one of the kid’s gift programs/events, and it drives me crazy!!!

    Any ideas would be appreciated – I’ll get more since these are the only presents I buy!

    Arkady: Thanks for the doc rec!

    If you know your friends well enough it’s fun to find ‘just the right thing’ they’d never buy for themselves. Parties & gatherings w/ seasonal goodies are wonderful.

  3. Lech,

    I’m about to buy 30 wooded acres, I think. A forester? Do I need one of those? I’m probably just going to buy it, camp in it, and hopefully sell it in 20 years. I did a get a guess from a guy I trust about putting in a driveway and preparing a building site: 50k. So many trees would have to come down. Not sure I have the heart for that — altho why I’m not sure since I’d probably sell to someone who wants to put up 100 houses one day.

  4. arkady — not yet. I am hoping to get a few folks in this week to get ideas and quotes.

    jackal — what did a damn apple ever do to you?

    dibs — is this late in the year for Dilly’s? I imagine the ice cream part fo the business is way off by now. We probably won’t be back to Dilly’s until it is warm enough for tubing next year. BTW, ever been to the restaurant Honey in Doylestown? A bit (ok, maybe more than a bit) pretentious with how they presented the menu, but everything we ate was quite good (this was a few weeks back when we were stalking you by bike).

    Truer words have never been spoken. Black Friday sales are for the uncivilized.
