I'd better stop flaring soon; I can't afford the rate I'm going through jigsaw puzzles (it's generally taking one to two days to finish each).

Reminders to myself of puzzles I'm interested in:

Ravensburger Marine Wildlife (sale)
Waiting for Neptune
All the World's a Stage
Quincy Market Puzzle (sale)
Icemark (sale)
Grateful Dead Backstage (sale)
Frogs and Friends (sale)
Giocconda & Vitruvian Man Jigsaw Puzzle Set 2 (definitely!)
The World Jigsaw Puzzle Set 2 (definitely!)
Mapamundi, 1375, Cresques Abraham (definitely!)
Nicolao Visscher Orbis Terrarum Nova (definitely!)
You Are Here (planets) (definitely!)
Da Vinci's World (definitely!)
Magna Carta (definitely!)

I should grab the cheapies (especially the hospital copies -- damaged boxes) soon, but I'm all psyched to have finally found such an assortment of map puzzles. And the two two-packs I've got listed above are both really cool and really good deals, so those're high on the list, too.

Family, if you're wondering about b-day presents, the any of the above would be awesome, but check with me first, because I'm likely going to order a couple in the next week or so; I'm down to one uncompleted puzzle at the moment.

I'm keeping an eye on your puzzle posts, as they are giving me great ideas for presents. Thanks!

So noted. There are too many b'days in November now days, half my friends and most of my in-laws it seems.

Technically you can just take that $20 you owe me for Dad's gift and get a puzzle or two for yourself and we'll call it even (since that's about all we could afford otherwise anyway).

That sounds like a plan to me...

I also mentioned to Dad about puzzles being something I'd like this year, and that you and Anna had access to a list of them.

No problem. Did he tell you about listening to the Obama crowd in Albuquerque?

Ooh, no, I missed that! What happened?

Well as I was told it, both McCain and Obama were in town one day while they were. Apparently McCain drew a small, but respectable crowd (couple thousand), while Obama's rally drew tens of thousands. Dad's hotel room was about a mile from the Rally and he could clearly hear the chants and the crowd reactions.

*chuckle* That's awesome.

I really wish I could make it to a rally, but I can't take time off for it, and I don't have the physical stamina right now for hours of lines and such, anyway. *sigh*

I love jigsaw puzzles, too... but this whole parenting thing has left me with ZERO puzzle time. You want I should ship you a few I know I'll not be getting around to anytime soon? It's such a shame to see them wasting away in their boxes.

Ooh; if you're willing, that'd be awesome! Maybe sometime down the road when puzzles are possible for you again, I can send you some of the ones I've already done, too.

Excellent! I just checked & I don't have your mailing addy, so shoot it to me at: risibleitinerant at gmail dot com, I'll probably ship them out on Saturday when my man works his next shift at the post office! Yay for sharing! :)
