Glad you guys enjoyed my gift list, but you gotta get on the astronomy tip. Stars are cool! Much cooler than David Bowie in satin pants, anyway.

I think you could pretty much say that ANYTHING is better than David Bowie’s Satin pants! We’ll try to be a little more open minded about you astronomy people going forward…

Nice show!
I like the geek gift guides! I shall see if I can convince my spousal unit to purchase any of these for me. She is a non-geek so I will have to subject myself to going to the non-geek stores to purchase the Christmas items for her.

Craig sent Laurie and myself some of these items!

Holy crap! We’re behind! You guys are fast…

Oy… I need to rehearse my calls before I make them. Uh… what was I saying again? Here, let me pause while my brain catches up.
