What I Want For Christmas

I want my 2-year-old to laugh.
I want my stepdaughter to do the dishes.
I want someone else to renew my expired tabs.
I want a new belt,
Maybe new pants.
I want my 3-year-old to do a better job of solving her own problems.
I want to hear my wife laugh.
I want sliced pastrami in the “fridger.”
I want my 2-year-old to call the fridge a “fridger” for the rest of his life.
I want to make more money.
I want more time to write.
I want to take my 5-year-old to Hawaii.
I want the New Orleans Saints to win the Super Bowl.
I want peace on Earth.
I want glasses that don’t smudge.
But what do I need?
I need a little more coffee.

Hawaii and coffee. What a choice, particularly if one can have both. Been to Hawaii about forty years ago. I still have the surf in my ears at Waiamea Bay. Kind wishes to you, Kai

I love this, Matt. The only thing I would have to disagree with you on is, I would much rather the N.Y. Giants win the super bowl (lol) but we both know.. that won't happen this year. -Charlie
