I am a bit dismayed to see Dad's gift list already posted. It's not that I want to withhold all these good things from Dad, it's just that I'm afraid his gift list will distract attention to my much more urgent list. Afterall, Dad's birthday isn't next Monday, but somebody else's is. Yes, that's right. It's the birthday of Victory in Europe. So, better get those cards in the mail now if they're going to make it over the ocean in time.
Taking my cues from Andy's list, you will find some links and prices to expedite the gift-buying:
Music CD: $11
mBox (for recording onto Pro Tools): $200-$300 (I think my boss from here at school will sell me his)
Joy Division CD: $6 used
Medium white t-shirts
White socks
Gift certificate to Valueland

I checked my good old made in USA calander and didn't see no Victory in Europe day. What kind of pinko-commie-French calander are you looking at? I just don't want everyone to go into a spending frenzy on your birthday and totally forget that Father's Day is coming soon. I would hate to see my kids go into deep debt for Father's Day gifts. This way they will restrain themselves and leave plenty for the next important event. Besides, I'm 50 now, you never know when I won't make it to the next year. You may want to give as if this is the last opportunity. Better safe than sorry. You wouldn't want to live with guilt would you?
David, don't you think it's a bit egotistical to think someone will buy you a major league baseball team for your birthday??
Since I am the Dad, I bought the Baseball team, they were expensive! (It's a good thing Sammy Sousa isn't there yet) Anyway, I got him the White Sox. I want to get him the M Box to go with the White Sox, it costs $350, does anyone want to help me? He already has this gift, he brought it home from Wheaton, so it will be easy to shop for, and staying away from stores is worth a lot of money to me.
