It’s now becoming a ritual for me to do a Christmas update with all the cool stuff I got. So here it goes for 2001.

It turns out having an Amazon wishlist paid off this year. I got practically everything on my list except for the Akira graphic novels. Here’s just a portion of the cool stuff I got:

1. Wide-angle camera lense
2. The Sixth Sense DVD (Wow!)
3. Dropkick Murphys CD
4. Whole ton of books
5. Couple of sweet shirts for work
6. A very nice and professional atache for work. I think it’s called an atache.

So that’s that. Christmas has gone by quickly. The wedding is now imminent. We are now spending all our free time doing wedding stuff. We are currently working on the programs which may turn out to be the most time consuming of all our projects. I’m a little concerned about the honeymoon. All we have gotten from the travel agency is an itinerary. I think that’s all we need. I hope there isn’t any more.

Oh yes, by the way, the RSVP thing. Right, yeah, so we sent you all RSVP cards for a reason. Use them. The deadline is January 2nd. No RSVP, no dinner. We sent out 175 invitations and have seen a sliver of RSVPs returned and it’s quite annoying. Just off the top of our head we have been able to count 40 people who did not return RSVPs who we know are going to be at the reception. We’re seriously concerned about those who we don’t know are going to show up. It’s gonna be a good dinner too. I wouldn’t miss it if I were you.
