Received a gift card for a book store and a gray fleece hood jacket that I want to add some leather to and the wife and I received as combined gifts a pasta dinner ware set and a sliders cooker that I want to punk. All four of us received sinus infections for the holiday as well while dear daughter has made out like a villain with all of her loot.

By the way, I ran across this google blog site and a review of some steam punk novels, if nothing else the art work is nice and very fitting and the site itself holds some retro 20th century interest as well, hope you enjoy.
