Folks, I’ve been known to many on these boards as “The guy in the Cubs hat.” Christmas gift to myself: a new Cubs cap. You can look for me at the rope once again in my Chicago colors. Please tell me I don’t look ridiculous. I don’t especially like to wear hats but with all the sun at the park, I have little choice .

Merry Christmas, MJ, and also to Kelly and Nick. And Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings to everyone.

Not exactly a “solstice” pic but I think it conveys a similar notion .

Also, perhaps one of my favorite instances of Christmas serendipity.

When I was eight, my brother bought me this disc gun as a (very) last-minute Christmas gift. It was as we drove home from our annual tradition of gazing at the Christmas windows on State Street (Chicago). Several of the stores would decorate them with various scenes, not unlike the Windows at Emporium on Main Street.

On our way home, we stopped at a local independent grocery store for a few last-minute things. It had been dark for a few hours already and my brother knew he still had to get me a present. His options were few. He got very lucky when he happened upon this classic toy (although it didn’t know then that it was bound to be a classic . But then toys aren’t often noted for their sentience ;-). I saw an unopened one on eBay today for close to $300 ). I loved and played with it for years. It no longer works but I *still* have it. Best emergency, last-minute present ever.

OK - turns out that hat was too small. So: look for me in one of these four (I bought all of them ). Think of it as my Christmas gift to you all! ;-).
