Merry Christmas Everyone! (revised)

Why?

Why won't this blog site allow me to change my primary email address to a gmail address? What do I do if/since we're switching from comcast to verizon Fios?

Pop's Christmas List

Some of you have asked what Pop wants for Christmas. His original list had one item, a sweater, which I have already purchased. So we finally pursuaded him to write a longer list. [I've left off the "underwear".]

dress winter hat--more like Indiana Jones than Captain Ramias--in a color other than brown

athletic shorts, not too short, Adidas [please, for all our sakes', no old-school basketball]

classical CDs by good orchestras with known conductors: (someone Bob K. would recognize and recommend, Pop says)
Mozart
Bach
Handel
Hayden
Tchaikovsky
Vivaldi

then, after giving it even more thought he suggests

a donation to Harvest Ministry in Philadelphia and prayer for its ministry to those who struggle with sexual sin

a donation to Christ Academy at Grace Reformed Episcopal Chruch in Colingdale, PA and prayer for Mike Fitzpatrick and the faculty and student body. Christ Academy is a classical boys high school near Philadelphia. Many of their students are from Liberia.

a donation to Barnabas Aid and prayer for those who suffer poverty and persecution for their faith in Christ

Love, Mom

Sabers Only

I actually saw this a couple weeks ago done by someone else and it just kind of fell flat. I thought "man, that could have been great!" and now... here it is: great.

To Jill


David commented on the Christmas wish list post by Mom with what's on his list. I thought I could help by posting a pic.

Road trips


For those of you taking road trips in the next couple of weeks here is a list that may come in handy. A recent pole of Americans (though, I'm not sure of the average age) came up with this list of top 10 road trip songs:

  1. On the Road Again by Willie Nelson
  2. Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf
  3. Take It Easy by The Eagles
  4. I Get Around by The Beach Boys
  5. Highway to Hell by AC/DC
  6. Free Falling by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
  7. Riders on the Storm by The Doors
  8. I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night by Kiss
  9. Wanted: Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi
  10. Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd
So how about you? What are your favorite songs to listen to while cruising down Route 66?
