Dear Secret Santa --

As a man of big appetites (as your protuberance suggests), surely you understand my long list of must-haves. And, given the pace at which my library has grown, surely you will believe that I will have them all!!

Also, how can a man who knows every child's name in the whole world, have a problem with a plethora of choices? Surely, every kid's list is just as long.

But, let it be said, that hotrodqt ((my nickname as a kid (short for Rodney) and where I work (QuikTrip) -- didn't even get the "cutey" implication untile years later...I'm old, what can I say!)) isn't there to help a brother out!

Here are my true must-haves that are reasonably attainable:
Opera -- out any day now
Roll through the Ages
World Without End -- Should be out any day now
Dominion -- I have the original, either of the newer editions
Tobago
Railways of the World
Rise of Empires
Steam
Space Hulk -- come on Santa, I'll sit on your Knee!! :-) just kidding

Basically, I'm pretty easy to please. These are just my "hot" must haves - for now. I have eclectic tastes -- including girly games sometimes! (I do have 2 daughters you know) -- so if you think I'll like it, I probably will.

Thanks SS and cut back on the cookies. My God man, you look like a stuffed walrus...
