Initially, the ’57 Chevy cookie jar was mine, but then it was stolen. I then stole Jeff Hamill’s gift, a “Life Hammer”. Luckily, no one stole that one from me before the gift exchange ended. Now, if while riding to CLAW meetings aboard the MV Rhododendron, and if she sinks while crossing the Sound, I can rest assured knowing that I can hammer my way out of my car. The only way this would be more perfect is if I had something to keep me from freezing to death within one minute of contact with the water. Mark’s dog-and-cat fur blanket is sounding better and better.

Many wonderful gifts passed through my hands last evening, but the one that came home with me and adorns the bookcase in our living room is a wonderful wood-carved “white” elephant!

I got a famous Mark Monlux cookie jar in the shape of a 57 chevy being driven by two cats dressed in human clothes.

I came home with a blanket made from:
25% Cat fur
25% Dog fur
50% Llama fur
It sheds like crazy.
