Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is:

My back teeth on top, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.

An Imac, and a voice-to-type program,

2 trips-1 to CA to see family, 1 to FL to see dear friends

A bigger income, which would help with ALL the above,

One good back and two good knees,

A good singing voice, a good ear, and the ability to play ANYTHING,

Some nice leftish, folkie man to love,

And please spread lots of whirled peas all around.

I've been pretty good all year, Santa, or if not good, at least careful, so whattya say, Nick?

Mary Mccaffrey
