My Christmas List


Haven't posted in two months, so it's probably rude that I'm sending out my Christmas list. This went to my wife and kids--however, anybody who wants to contribute to the cause, feel free.
Here’s what I want for Christmas:
1. Take me to see the Hobbit at an IMAX theater.  Feel free to pick up some Snow Caps or Sweet Tarts to eat during the show. 
2. Take me to the Elenor and Edsel Ford Home—I’ve never been there.
3. Take me fishing in Lake St. Clair. 
4. Take me target shooting.
5. Go with me on a trail run at Stoney Creek or Kensington Park
6. Go running with me to the end of Windmill Point, followed by coffee/breakfast/lunch at Janet’s Lunch
7. Take me to a baseball game—any place in 2013—could include Spring Training, I’m just saying.
8. Make me any of the following  meals:
Homemade pepperoni and red pepper pizza (and I'm not talking about pizza in a box)—lots of cheese (feta, too), fatoush salad, beer, chocolate ice cream;  OR
BBQ ribs, potato salad, corn on the cob and cherry pie, beer; OR
Ribeye steak, big baked potato, spinach salad, green beans and crème brule. Red wine.
You do all the prep.  I just get to eat with the cook and enjoy.  I will help clean up.
8. Download  two hours of music on my phone that you know I’ll like.  Suggestions:  Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tegan and Sarah, the Killers, Al Green, Maroon 5—anything new.
9. Take me to the Russian Tea room  for a meal AND sit with me and meditate in their chapel afterwards .
10. Take me to a movie at the DIA and a meal at Mudgies.
Or, give me a framed picture of me with the giver and a nice message written on the picture.  Make two copies—one for me.  One for you.
