I received the Lee Valley catalog last week and it was real nice and full of
stocking stuffers. SWMBO even picked it up. Then I got thinking and jumped
to the Lee Valley website and aw shucks No Wish List. I hope they add one
for next year.

ah, the scraper I deleted from my recent Lee Valley ordering list, just

I'd been suffering from tool envy when going thru the LV catalogue. One
day, I decided to make a list (Christmas is coming and SWMBO understands
LV) of all the _little_ things I've been wanting. Three columns, ranking
urgency etc. I ended up with a list of about 15-16 items. Most expensive
was C$32, total cost for all items was C$200.

I thought, "for $200, I can get rid of a lot of my wishing and drooling",
so I drove over to LV and bought the whole list. No more wishing,
thinking
or impulses and I use the things regularly.
