Times ticking away...

Time to close the books on 2006 and look towards the new year. Spent the final hours at home with the family. Last year it was just me and my oldest, as my wife was out working and pregnant with our second child. I'm thankful that this year we all could be at home together. I spent part of it with the baby asleep in my arms as I read my last book for 2006. Now with minutes to spare, I finished the book and I'm watching the count down for us here. So long 2006 and hello 2007. I wonder which book I should pick up and start reading next.

hmmm....

Dear Santa, support my hobby please!

Dear Santa,

I know its a last minute request and on the chance that you might have a few extra items available, I thought I give you a shout out. Yes, I know we have not talked with you in sometime, but I've really tried to be good and help with the good work over the years just the same.

Anyway, I've got a passion for two wheels, in case you haven't heard and love racing (watching) and I would love to have a chance to lean hard in the curves and scream around some of the best tracks in the world. I would have to say that Moto GP would be the top of the list for someone who loves this sport motorcycle racing.

Yes, I know you can't begin to get me on a team, a bike, sponsors, and all the training to get me up to this level. Yes, going to see a Moto GP race live from the stands would be cool, but I think I could work on that at some point myself. I had something else in mind here instead of the above.



That's right the Xbox 360 Live with the Moto GP 06 will give me a chance to try out racing around the Moto GP tracks from the comfort of my own home. No extra costs in hiring a racing team, getting sponsors, bikes, and the training to race. From what I've seen and heard, this is a very realistic sim for motorcycle racing. Just look at how cool the graphics are from the photo above.

I know, I'm suppose to come up with a list of items as alternates. So here we go, if you can I'd like to have that pony I've always wanted. Yes, might be a little hard to get a live horse to me in such short notice. Maybe a brand new BMW K1200 would be a little easier and more along with my motorcycle love. Next is the Xbox 360 Racing package I've outlined above and perhaps the cheaper of the three possible requests (HINT!).

I know I should have contacted you sooner and these will have to wait till next year or years to come. I thought I'd give it a shot at the least and since I really haven't had a game system since the first Nintendo, I'd just like to get more up with the times. So if you could work your magic, that would be great. Otherwise it will be a goal of mine to get a system like this on my own.

Thanks and Merry Christmas...
