Happy Xmas

Shopping day 2 went well. I got in and out pretty quick and traffic wasn't as bad. I'm hoping everyone else has completed their shopping and I have missed the crowds. Yeah, right. Of course getting out late means there is less of a selection. I hope the boys don't mind finding this under the tree for them.

I picked up a John Lennon compilation CD for myself while out shopping and listened to it in the car on the ride home. Great stuff, Lennon was such a great writer and performer. The Beatles were my introduction to rock n roll (yes, I'm old enough to have seen them on Ed Sullivan). They were a great band and I always liked Lennon the most out of all of them. My parents didn't think too much of this loud, raucous music I was listening to. Although every once in a while my father would come into my room, listen for a minute or two and say "OK, I'm hearing this one" and leave shaking his head in approval.

I'm thinking of getting myself a guitar for Xmas. If I don't buy for me no one will. It will mean I'll have to cut back a little from the kids, but they have plenty and Daddy worked hard this year. Now the tough decision - acoustic or electric? If I was still in the apartment it would have to be acoustic. But since I'm in the house, and can get as loud as I want the electric is tempting. Hmmmm I'll have to think about this one.
