Hmm..one memorable Christmas I got:

A Roy Rogers bedspread and a pair of RR six-gun cap pistols - guess that's why I've always found A Christmas Story so funny

The Visible Man model - I ended up painting his liver the wrong color when I was building the model

A gas-powered model airplane, it was a Navy Corsair, damned near took my first 2 fingers off with that one, started it up right in the kitchen...

And a trumpet...

In retrospect I suppose my folks were trying to inspire me to pick a career - either a doctor, a cowboy, a pilot or a...musician, I guess, although they were widely known to smoke a lot of reefer at the time...I dunno...

So in spite of all that I ended up being...honestly, I'm not sure what really.

Guess I'm still trying to figure out what I wanna be when I grow up...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
