Chip's Christmas Wish List
Posted by Chip Lowell - VP Sales and Marketing
I don’t care how old I get – coming up with a wish list of toys will always be one of my favorite things to do! I love my birthday. I can’t wait until I turn 95 and get my in-home Holodeck finally! I really love Christmas time. This year, I mailed Santa (yes, snailmail, Santa is old school) my Top 5 list. I have finally removed the rocket launcher and other explosive items since my wife will never let me use them. Dang. So, here’s what I’d better get, because I have been very good this year:
- Robot lawn mower – I really need a robot leaf raker/bagger, I guess I still have to do the real work around the house -- Friendly Robotics RL1000 RoboMower Mower and Docking Station
- Advanced Weather Station for Weatherbug (and no, it’s NOT spyware). Thomas Jefferson had to write all his weather info by hand – not me!
- Velocity Micro Gamers’ Edge PCX – oh, man, do I need to a new home PC with dual core and a nice G80 graphics card.
- X-Files seasons 5-9 – to fill out my collection. I love to watch an episode late Friday nights, like when the show first came out.
- A big bottle of Knob Creek bourbon. Mmmm… bourbon (and vermouth, and bitters, and a cherry).
That’s my top five, Santa, bring on my loot. He sees me when I’m sleeping? He knows when I’m awake? Yikes. He KNOWS if I’ve been bad or good? Uh-oh. As Calvin (& Hobbes) said once “Geez, he's a tough ol' geezer!” Maybe I’ll only get coal – but Hey! fossil fuels and the like are worth money, right?
