Well, I\u2019ve just finished writing my \u201cPost-Family\u201d piece and, as my two hour slot for Project Mondays nears completion, I figured the perfect way to get out of actually writing something else and still manage to hit all the points on next Monday\u2019s scorecard is to simply post an article where I beg shamelessly for gifts.
\n<\/p>\n
As you can gather from the \u201cPost-Family\u201d article, I don\u2019t really have much of a family left. My grandfather gets me a card and a Red Lobster gift certificate, usually including a note saying \u201cI\u2019ve given you so much over the years, you can go ahead and consider all that to be your present.\u201d My aunt may send me a present sometime in February. It\u2019s usually something like a scarf from Target, or a little travel game of some sort for\u2026when\u2026I\u2019m driving, I guess. I can play chess with myself while I\u2019m driving down 95, right?<\/p>\n
My uncle tends towards generosity. He\u2019ll get me a Amazon certificate.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s that! Meanwhile, I have this ridiculously long wishlist<\/a> at Amazon that dates back for several years. So, if you feel like it, and as a sort of general \u201csupport Greatsociety\u201d thing, here\u2019s a link to that wishlist<\/a>. If you send me stuff, I\u2019ll get really drunk on Christmas morning and post pictures of me in my bathrobe eating breakfast with a giant inflatable dinosaur. Because that\u2019s what you really want to see come up on your smartphone while your kids put together whatever it is kids get these days. I know this, because I can see into your soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, I\u2019ve just finished writing my \u201cPost-Family\u201d piece and, as my two hour slot for Project Mondays nears completion, I figured the perfect way to get out of actually writing something else and still manage to hit all the points …<\/p>\n
