What did I get for Christmas?

The greatest gift of all. Emotional love and friendhip from my closest friends and family. Nothing will beat that gift.

Here is a quote from a good frind of mine in Connecticut who has this motto:

"Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace."

Those are the words my friend coined in his life. They are of the author Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) who was a philosopher, poet, and artist.

Phil...The exchange in RHPS goes like this:

Magenta: We ask for NOTHING!

Franknfurter: And you shall receive it. IN ABUNDANCE!

(One of my favorite lines of all-time.)

Sorry, the first line is "I ask for nothing, master." [Big Grin]

Yeah! So THERE, Manny!

Paul, sounds like your friend is smokin' some of that I-30 stuff....

I prefer the simple:

"What is a friend if not someone you seek with nothing to do?"

From an equally deranged person... [Smile]

I am a RHPC virgin... and I plan on staying that way.

Crowd participation gives me the willies just like watching Kirk Cameron sing on an episode of Growing Pains.

I got clothes, clothes, and clothes! My sis arrived from Studio City and we had a blast watching my 4 year old nephew get TONS of stuff!

I showed him some cartoons (in 16mm) for the first time this Christmas Eve.

Today is MY big day. 47 years! Do I look it?

In addition to the best thing (time with family, friends, etc.), I got the usual assortment of books, clothes, gift certificates, etc. My parents also gave me a pair of snow tires for my car (which I need to get installed this weekend).

At the 6-plex, Santa (or someone) delivered another set of SRD cards for the CP-500s, but didn't come through with the platter bulbs or splicing tape that I asked for six months ago.
