Got a pack of #11 blades in my stocking, and a very stylish denim shirt with an embroidered WM logo...  That ad I stuck into the Ladies' Home Journal paid off!

The best part was having all of us in the same place at one time for the first time in months!

  My Aerotrain which arrived about a week ago was my Christmas model railroad item.Oh! and an extra Wheels of Time set,a UP yellow passenger set with one baggage car & three coaches. This appears to be the only way to get the coaches in the yellow color scheme.   Rest of gifts were related to Japanese Animation (Anime) ,clothing and books.     Nate Goodman (Nato). Salt Lake,Utah.

I did good for Christmas. This year I got the new
Jim Shaughnessy book "The Call of Trains". What a
wonderful book!! Also got an Athearn Bellows Falls
Creamery Pfaudler milk car. And to top it off a gift
certificate to my local pusher. ;D ;D

I got socks, hankerchiefs, a nail clipper and a 24 hour intestinal virus that stayed for two days.

We habe GH for the Wii and I got my wife RockBand for Christmas. I dont like RockBand as I find the songs too easy, the song selection sucks and its a bit laggy....but this is RockBand 1...they mayhave improved with 2.

I got some major cash for the layout, and a 1:1 Conrail Leslie RS-3L for the speeder.

David... Guitar Hero is the coolest game in the history of coolest games. (for this week, and I hate video games)

Not a single toy from Santa this year. I don't mind a bit though, because I won't get to play with them until October(ish) anyway. Pointless to get train goodies for me while I'll be in Iraq.

Santa (read Uncle Sam) was kind enough to let me wake up in my own house for Christmas morning with the boys, and Christopher did get some cool Thomas stuff, and a Diego Animal Rescue Railway.

Santa brought our five year old a Wii...( I'm 45 and I can't figure video games out for poop...) so I'm struggling to play "Diego Dino Rescue".... although I did try bowling and golf tonight after he retired for the evening.. and I can't do those any better then in reality... Guitar Hero...... way, way past my level... do they have "Kazzo Nerd"...?  I might be able to make that rock...........

.....and if your reading this Richie.......... "this is your fault".......more later.......... >:(
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

I treated myself to a rolling workbench.  I'd always meant to find something I can roll around the house.  So I can work on projects while watching TinkerBell, or Barbie, Or Sponge Bob, or... well you get the idea..



It's a cheapo Wally world computer cart...

btw.. real men play real guitar  ;)   ;D

My son bought Rock Band II a month or so ago, and I must say, it is a lot of fun...
