Among other things, we got a portable Garmin GPS unit. Haven't tried it in the car yet---just being lazy, loungin' around the house and eating for a few days---but I did take a walk around the neighborhood with it. (I've never used one before...As Bruce Willis was told in the latest Die Hard, I'm sort of an analog guy in a digital world.)

It was super dark, could hardly see my hand in front of my face, let alone the road or surroundings. Like some wide-eyed 7 year old, I was so absorbed by the glowing of the GPS screen in my hand, watchng in fascinatinon as it displayed my progress turn by turn, that several times I lost the middle of the road and found myself stumbling into the drainage ditch along side the street like some drunken fool .

It was kinda funny. I felt like an idiot but was having a great time at it.

Wife got me a MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC WD73733 73" 16:9 Black DLP Technology 1080p Rear-Projection HDTV

It's delivery date is Jan 4th (thing is quite bulky) and it gets delivered right upstairs to media room.

I'll get it setup, dialed in just in time for '08 auto racing season to start......

a client gave me a gift card to Nordstrom and a bottle of wine. Which I then re-gifted to the latest missus. Is that bad? I met after Thanksgiving but didn't go out with her until after Xmas. I think thats international waters in my book.

My wife and daughter gave me a certificate with instructions to purchase an in-dash gps for the Boxster. (They don't do too well with technical devices, so I will work out the details.)

I'm thinking of picking up a Pioneer Avic D-3 from eBay or an on-line discounter. Fortunately there is plenty of info on this board regarding installation.

Got several gift certificates. Bought myself an LCD for my bonus room and the big item was a PC buffer :-))). Can't wait to use it but I need to have the car washed since I can't do it myself because of the drought.
