Christmas List

Dear Family,
In the past we selected the name of the brother (or sister) for whom we were to buy or make a Christmas gift on the day after Thanksgiving. Last year was the first time we deviated from that tradition in order to include everyone in the gift exchange. In case you have forgotten the new routine, you will be buying a gift for each sibling in turn. This year you will buy for the one next younger to the one you bought for last year--except for Ben who bought for Jesse last year and will therefore buy for Peter this year.
Here, for those of you who cannot remember as far back as last December, is this year's gift list:
Peter buys for William
Matthew buys for Jesse
Ben buys for Peter and family
Jon buys for Matt and Emily
Nate buys for Ben and family
Thomas buys for Jon
David buys for Nate and Katie
Stephen buys for Thomas
Elisabeth buys for David
William buys for Stephen
Jesse buys for Elisabeth

Please post your "wish list", if you have one, so that your gifter has some ideas of what you would like. So, speaking of a wish list, here's mine:
a Belgium waffle iron
an outdoor thermometer
a GPS--one that speaks to me (preferably in a British accent)
but one without all the complicated bells and whistles
I just want to know how to get there (by avoiding unnecessary traffic and
delays)

Midichlorians, 1

Could Darth Vader tell the midichlorians to choke him (Darth Vader) and would they stop once he lost consciousness, or what?

To find the answer and to read about my life these past three years that I've been missing, head over to my new blog, here.

I love you all.
