as long as we're all reporting in on important stuff:
I happened to have purchased some socks, which arrived the day before x-mas; but purely by coincidence. I do wear socks pretty regularly; so there's really no point in anyone (Tami) visualizing me walking around with no pants. I've never in my life vaped a
tank; unless you want to call a clearomizer a
tank (or a Genesis atomizer . . .. but not a
tank proper).
X-mas was good, per haul. The wife's gifts to me were indicative of her support per my new field of dreams; which I won't be able to actually start in on for another month (2 months really; but pretending). Not so much is it a new direction, rather it is a way in which I think I may be able to ravel all the variety of experience and tooling into one overriding theme (which has been a secret dream of mine . . to find some such unifying theme).
Meaning to say, a hat to wear, a circus tent to run a show in, a sign to hang on the door, that allows me to draw upon woodworking, leather, some metal, bone n' horn, yada.
Would still totally be interested in doing any one of those things in isolation (a leather bag, a wooden chair, etc); but this would be a "product line" in which I could utilize any/all of them materials as I see fit (and in tandem).
. . . . so she bought me gifts to that end. (which means she's in support

. . . in secret married people's code talk . . .

)
