Care Package.....

Sweet U.S. Postal Service!!! I received an absolutely wonderful piece of cardboard from my parents yesterday. It was JAM full of great stuff & I am a very, very, very happy boy. The package was sent on November 26th & I received it yesterday, December 10th. Basically, a small piece of paper is delivered to you (to my school) saying you have to go to the corresponding post office to pick up your package (after signing a bunch of forms, showing passport, etc.) Despite the heavy snow and heavier package, I gleefully walked home and waited until after dinner to open it. The contents (yes I am listing everything) were as follows - in alphabetical order!

All the contents are very much appreciated and will get me through the cold winter. I couldn't pick a favorite, Amanda's favorite was the Cheese n' Garlic Biscuit mix. Most useful would have to be the Fusion razor blades. Most creative has to be the Delaware quarters - I will hand them out to students, etc. We immediately popped in the X-mas CD. And followed it with Chris' interesting (with some killer classics) shuffle of songs. I am a lucky boy indeed.

Good lookin' out.
