Wishlist

Every year as a child, when Christmas would agonizingly slowly inch near, I would crack open the Sears catalog, head straight to the back and start making a list of all the toys I wanted. At the time it was the only window browsing a 7-year-old could manage. If only there were a catalog where we could realize our wishes as adults.

So, I give you this year's Christmas Wishlist:

1. Tickets to the show. Preferably 20 or more so that I can see it many times and even bring a few friends. (Practically guaranteed)

2. A certain someone escorted by me to the party in two weeks. (Very unlikely)

3. You on a plane to Houston. I meet you there, pick you up and drive us on to the gulf. We board a ship and spend 7 nights in the Caribbean. Private cabin, balcony overlooking the passing water. Nights in the wind on deck, days on sunny beaches. Drinks, dancing, solitude and all that we bring with it. (Financially easy, Realistically impossible)
(exactly what i saw in one of the many moments when you should have been near - click it!)

4. Seeing the show with you. (Moderately impossible, for the moment)

An update on this year's list progression.

1. Still very likely

2. Didn't happen, knew it wouldn't, better that it didn't

3. In light of recent events, this one is now impossible

4. Ditto.

It looks like chemicals are the only things we can be sure of.

A final update on this year's holiday wish list:

1. It came true. The show was excellent tonight, so they will great throughout the holidays and as long as the production runs next year.

2. The object of my little infatuation is now engaged. But she cut her hair very short right before then so she had already started to lose my interest. Heh.

3. Still impossible, probably always will be. Should have done something about it during the last couple of years.

4. Ditto.

And yes, you can count on them every time.
