The Rosch Family

2009 Christmas List


Updates

What's up with Christmas this year?

Stockings - Once again:

This year, each adult selects one thing for every other adult's stocking - but with a price limit of $5 or thereabouts per item.

(As usual, parents are responsible for their children's stockings.)

FYI: 2007 list

Somehow, in switching computers, I've lost the 2008 list.  Sorry!

  • Just got a dell studio 17” computer with an ‘n’ wireless router. Could therefore use:

    • A travel bag for it.

    • A wireless printer. (I hear Kodak is good, but I don’t know and have not looked around at all).

    • Are there other things I might need that I don't know of yet? (A wireless mouse maybe?)

  • A good book on the history of World War I.

  • Books by Daniel Silva (I have read The Secret Servant, The Kill Artist, and Moscow Rules)

Bob

  • Dinner music. We have a nice stereo in our kitchen and like to listen to music of different themes while preparing / eating dinner. So themed CDs, like Mediterranean, Mexican, or Italian music would be appreciated (for when we cook Mediterranean, Mexican, or Italian food). Also, light jazz or cocktail hour music works well. You can often find these types of CDs at places like Pottery Barn or even Target - and I am sure you can find them cheaper online - but they are usually an impulse buy for me.

  • A subscription to The Economist Magazine

  • Black & Decker FSB18 FireStorm 18-Volt NiCad Slide Style Battery. This is an extra one for my cordless drill. That way I can charge one while I am working with the other
