My wife has been asking me....I've got probably 25 Buffett t-shirts, at least half of the inventory from the Margaritaville stores, every album (okay, all on CD now), numerous other pieces of memorabilia from JB.
I'm at a loss as I think I have everything as I've rounded the bend in life known as 40.
Stupid post I know but can it be I'm now more interested in giving rather than getting??

Yup, we adopted Whiskers a couple years ago! I also adopted one for her second grade class, Ariel!!
I believe you've hit on it, however, a gift to the V Foundation would be cool.
Thanks!

You can't go wrong with a sailboat. Or a monkey.

ummm, no. I think "the man" kinda frowns upon that idea.
(or so I've read in recent news!)

Hey, GCP.
I gave myself some wireless Logitech headphones to plug into the iPod.
They rock! Took them to work today. Could walk all over the building and not miss a tune!
Just a thought.
Here's a link to some reviews....

Gentilly ... 42 years is a long time to wait .... a Northeast Texas woman can hope.

Ooooh, those are sweeeeet!! Very cool, haven't seen that before. Thanks!!
Yeah, we've got manatee calendars, pics on the 'fridge, a couple pieces of what you could call 'artwork' with manatees. They aren't too pretty but are very cool. I like the slow moving things as I've rounded the bend.

My friend, Janice....bought 5 bicycles yesterday and took them to the Fire Dept where they head up the "Toys for Tots" ..
The firemen even put them together...and on Christmas Morning...5 kids who weren't going to get much of anything will have new bikes...
