Wish List

I have no earthly idea why, but I really like the Audi commercial that asks, is it really a wish list if it only has but one wish on it?

I know, not much of a reason, but I do find the question intriguing. Just how many things must be on a list in order for it to be a list. Is it a shopping list if it only has milk & bread?

I remember the year that my Christmas list consisted of just one thing, a bicycle. Well, I did get the bike, but I must admit that I got a few other things too. I think maybe of all the things I received for Christmas, that bicycle was my favorite.

I have no idea how many miles I put on that bike, but I rode it to school, to friends homes, to the store for milk and bread. Sometimes, I just rode it cause I liked riding it.

I guess I was in the 5th or 6th grade when I got it and I used it through the twelfth grade. I have no idea how many flats I fixed on it. I even had to replace a broken front fork. I guess you could say I wore it out.

Maybe, if I had the money, I might have bought the Audi. It would have certainly had a place on my Christmas list. However, I already got my wish, the Nissan. Very likely it will also be well used. Unless I start selling my books, and a bunch of them, I won’t likely buy any more cars.

Speaking of books, maybe a few of you can put a few of my books on your lists. They might not be great, but I believe you will enjoy them. Just look on my about page for a list and it really is a list. More than 35 titles. Many are parts of series.

[Now, how’s that for a segway?]
