The List

Christmas lists make me uncomfortable, and not just because I'm Jewish. Just like wedding registries, it seems strange to pick out and ask your friends and family for a whole bunch of stuff. But Heather's family sends their lists around unabashedly, and when you think about it it's far better to know what someone wants instead of getting them presents they aren't going to use.

So here's my wish list; you'll see it's not very demanding:

1. World Peace
2. Bowl victory for the Irish
3. Spread of the New Urbanism worldwide
4. Apple gift certificates. My ipod's screen looks like it was run over by a car, and my laptop could use some memory.
5. J. Crew gift certificates. I need some pants.
