Wish list, reluctantly.
· 12:14 PM · 4 comments
I've never been comfortable with making a wish list for presents. Hubristic? Presumptuous? Well, I recognize that's hardly fair and that my reaction says more about me than people who use 'em.
Perhaps it's because I never had an item worthy of the "wish" part. Like a really big-ticket item. Like the following - my first entry into a wish list:
1. http://21buenavista.com/, $5,475,000 USD
For a 5+ million dollar San Francisco Victorian encompassing 22 rooms on four floors, a home theatre, a gallery space, outdoor terraces on all levels, a custom cedar sauna, a 3 car garage, and a 3000 bottle wine cellar with tasting room it's pretty much a steal!
So, um, you can start with that and then I'll add some other items ... like some new earbuds for the iPod or something.

that's an awesome house. It didn't look like much in the picture but those pictures are just breathtaking.
