    I'm getting the Charlie Brown collection on DVD, and The Simpsons Season Nine

    My wife is getting (has already got) a new kitten.

    We've both been pretty good

    That reminds me of my evil plan. My wife is dead set against having a pet like a dog or cat. Too messy, too stinky, too expensive.

    But I, and all the kids, would love a nice mid-sized dog. So, one of these years, I'm going to install a doggy-door on the garage, set up a dog run/kennel in the vacant lot behind our house and surprise everyone with a puppy for Christmas.

    I think I'll have to wait until I no longer want sex, though. Because I'll be on the couch for a few months.

    Yeah, but your kids will madly love you for it, making you the "good" parent. Use them to guilt her. :D

    Snowshoes. And I got them early, which helped yesterday in my trek into the office during the blizzard.

    A bag of dark chocolate mint truffles, and I've already bought five tickets for the Florida-Carolina hockey game on Dec. 26. As much bad hockey as I've seen this year in person, I need a good change-of-pace to remind me how cool this game usually is.

    If you had any idea of how bad some of the hockey I've watched is, you'll realize how theraputic this will be. Not to mention being anonymous ...

    I saw a 9-8 OT game barely a week ago ... one in which one of the scorers for the league spilled soda all over my keyboard, causing the laptop to short out. Never mind that I was trying to keep my stats since the league's PC for scorekeeping was stolen. What a freaking mess ... and the coach for losing team, a former goaltender, called the game disgusting.

    He wasn't kidding.
