Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is a few well-cut shirts, the thingamabob to connect my Shure SM-58 to my Powerbook, drive, diligence, determination and a digital SLR camera, confidence, competence, consistency and my keyboard from home, courage, passion, intensity, an Apple AirPort kit, criticism, a blue blazer, and four weeks with family and friends.

And one of those svelte lady elves.
