Hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday weekend. Ours was jam-packed and too frazzled, but we finally got to relax a little this afternoon after a brunch and gift giving with my family. This year’s theme might as well be Books, Books, Books. I’ll likely write more about these later on (pardon the obnoxious Amazon.com linking). My brother and sister-in-law kindly gave
The Complete Peanuts 1961-1962 and
Charles Addams: A Cartoonist's Life by Linda H. Davis off my online wish list. Good friends of ours gave Christopher a fascinating looking book called
The Dead Beat: Lost Souls, Lucky Stiffs, and the Perverse Pleasures of Obituaries by Marilyn Johnson. I’ll have to borrow that from him someday. Also my s.o. gifted me with a Borders card (which I might use to buy Neal Gabler’s
Disney bio) and the neato
Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol. 4 set. C. also got the
Mission: Impossible first season DVDs from my parents. And I hung a new/old
Joyce Compton 1940s lobby card on my wall. Fun stuff!!

It just wouldn't be Xmas without the latest Peanuts volume! We also got the "Tomorrowland" volume of the Disney Treasures DVD series. I sat through these great documentaries in elementary school, now it's time to pass "Our Friend The Atom" to a new generation. (No, not my cats; my WIFE!)
