OT: Some Christmas Thoughts

A few bits of miscellany on the Xmas Eve:

Would it be Christmas without a gratuitous link to the Physics of Santa Claus page? No, of course not...
For that matter, how about the NORAD Tracks Santa page?
If you ain't already, get your Christmas groove on at somafm.com.
British or not, thanks to Slashdot for this list of the top 100 wished-for toys from the 70's or thereabouts. Sure brings me back to the days when my baby sister and I used to mark the calendar off until Christmas, which seemed then forever away on December 1st.

Things To Be Grateful For Dep't:

Tyler Blezinsky, for getting me started on this adventure.
No matter how hot-headed I might momentarily get, one of Jon or Tom will remind me to step back.
Meeting so many new people and making so many new friends over the last year: Richard, Sean, the Alchemist, Blackhawk Waterloo (whatever his real name might be), Rick, Robert, Rich, and so many others I got to finally meet in person at the Anaheim Marriott and at baseball games throughout the year.
A fantastic wife who not only puts up with my obsessiveness about baseball, but abets it.
Terriffic in-laws.
Good health.
A warm house in the midst of the white Christmas out here in Arkansas.
Finally -- how could I be so forgetful! -- thanks to everyone who's come over here and read my ongoing ranting. Traffic has ramped up pretty incredibly this month, but unlike Jon, I think it's pretty safe to say I know where my readership comes from -- Dodger Thoughts. It's gratifying to know others enjoy what I do enough to come back.
