A few years ago, when I was still working at AlaMark Technologies - I agreed to take part in my first (and last come to think of it) “secret santa” at work with my fellow employees.  

Everyone was asked to write down suggestions for gifts in the event you had to shop for someone you didn’t know very well.

My suggestion was an easy one.  ”Get me a book, movie or album you think I should read, watch, hear and ultimately have in my collection of stuff”.

I had a co-worker get me a book called “Spaceman Blues” and I set it on my shelf and never really cracked it open.  I’ve decided to make it the first book I read in 2012

The Descendents rolled into town and I painfully relived all the things.
Earlier in the week a friend reached out to alert me of a showing over at the Mercury Project.  I’ve admittedly been a little reclusive lately so I took up the offer to see a friendly face and to once again get reacquainted with hand painted mo
