Doug Ledbetter::Wish List

Last Updated: 08/14/2008

If you were already planning to buy me something, this list might help you decide what to get. If you weren't planning to get me a gift, please don't let this page unduly influence your decision. All items are listed in the order of most preferential to least within each category. If you purchase one of these items for me, you may optionally let me know (or you could tell Rhonda if you want to remain anonymous) so I can mark them as no longer needed. I have provided links to purchase each item, but you may certainly purchase from any store you prefer (Amazon.com prices seem to change daily so it's possible that you'll find better prices or cheaper shipping elsewhere). It's pretty likely that I'll add some more things to this list, so if you don't see something good here, just wait!
