What the World Needs Now (Besides Love, Sweet Love)

With Christmas rapidly approaching (Pearl Harbor Day!) and the deadline for getting packages off to me in time for the holiday almost here, I figured I'd make a little list of things that would be nice.

Before I begin I should note that, despite the title, Burt Bacharach related things are always, always appreciated. Having said that, here's another totally neat list to check out.

1. A world-wide indoor smoking ban. I know my reasons for this are rather selfish- I'm tired of coming home reeking from cigarette smoke- but I think it could only be beneficial to our society at large.

2. Some winter wear. Shanghai is cold and windy.

3. New York Jets, do your thing. Wouldn't hurt if the Spiders kept it up, too.

4. Throw pillows, and maybe a little living room rug.

5. Maybe a road bike. Then again, it's really cold and a bike would be awful.

6. Anything. It's the thought that counts.

Get cracking, my international Santa Clauses.
