Christmas booty:

• New suitcase (much needed)
  
• Sweater
  
• Thelonious Monk, "Brilliant Corners"
  
• Wind-up radio/flashlight for camping
  
• Collected Letters of C. S. Lewis, vv. 1-2 (a precocious little booger, using words like "convulsed" and "pacified" at the age of seven)
  
• Slippers
  
• Guitar One magazine
  
• Weird U.S.
  
• Rubik's Cube (?)
  

No booze this year, although I still haven't finished that bottle of Maker's Mark from last Christmas.

More details of my vacation are forthcoming. Happy new year!
