Yesterday the mail lady came to the door and required a signature for a package from Thailand. It was hand addressed and apparently cost 470 Baht to ship it. I suspected it might be my Secret Santa gift, though it had no mention of a username. I cautiously opened it, hoping it was something less lethal than a fist full of anthrax, c4 or crazy venomous Thai snakes. This thing was so well bubble wrapped that it took a good 5 minutes of careful stabbing and sawing to remove the coolest thing I've gotten this year, and possible the coolest thing I get for christmas. Enclosed in my mystery package was what appears to be a 100% wooden, 100% handmade motorcycle. I cradled it my hands, looking over every detail, my grin growing with each new angle until I must have looked quite nutty. I have never been so pleasantly surprised by a package in the mail. Whoever you are, Secret Santa, you freakin' nailed it. The motorcycle is now dead center on my living room mantle where I intend for it to stay.

Thank you and Merry Happy Day!
