We all seem happy in this house. I gave my wife the new Flaming Lips CD, some coasters made from mineral slices and some amethyst earrings and necklace. The latter gifts where purchased at the AGU meeting, and I had to carry them around San Francisco and in my carry-on luggage whilst worrying about them getting smashed. Luckily that didn't happen. She also got the IOU for some stuff that Land's End won't be able to ship until the end of January. Thanks, guys, appreciate that.

I got a new electric razor which looks very cool. I hate shaving and cut myself all the time. However, every electric razor I've ever had sucked. This thing is cordless, rechargeable, and also has a cleaning unit in the charger. She also got me some Georgia Tech sweatshirts and this odd but cool animal head suction cup pencil holders.
