i don’t normally expect to get gifts at christmas that will leave me excited. i mean, it’s nice to receive gifts; and, actually, i’m a big-time “gifts are my love language” guy. but i’ve just kinda lowered any expectations or hopes in recent years. but this year was amazing. some of the fantastic stuff i received:
– a mont blanc rollerball pen
– a sweet wireless outdoor speaker
– a bottle of johnny walker black label
– a bottle of $100 tequilla
– a hooka
– a colibri cigar travel case (with a partagas 160 in it)
– a black tommy bahama silk shirt
– a sweet philip starck watch
– a really nice cordless power drill set
– a gorgeous pre-embargo cuban cigar (which means it was in the states prior to 1962)
a very manly set of gifts, don’tcha think?
marko – looks great man! the hookah is the best i think…congrats.
Cleave: I am not sure. I mean relaxing on the porch with JW and a Cuban …
…and a cordless power drill in the other hand!
Have you seen those new pens? They write on a piece of paper but they also wirelessly transmit what you write onto your computer. Its a nice way to keep notes. Haven’t gotten my hands on one yet, but a fellow Network Engineer has one and it seems pretty handy.
very manly. (ar ar ar – ala Tim the ToolMan Taylor)
isn’t hooka how they pronounce hooker in new england? i was nervous for a split second! i got a great bottle of booker’s bourbon, so next time you’re out here… cheers!
Exciting! I’m definitely coveting the pen…
A “rollerball” pen? C’mon. Young men wearing Tommy Bahamas shirts with a Colibri cigar case don’t write with rollerballs — they’ve all got fountain pens!
Dang and I was excited to get Best Buy giftcards
are you rich?
Dang…and I was stinkin’ excited to get a GPS system…you know, so I can find the NYWC next year!
tequilla .. very dangerous MArko , if you don’t belive me check out THIS video at you tube

…perhaps you better send that bottle over here for safe keeping.
Everything seems pretty cool but it seems a bit much, maybe I am old fashioned but consumer-driven Christmas seems to be besides the point.
