Ho Ho Ho. Sorry I have been out of pocket since Christmas but work turned into a nightmare. I lost a couple employees and have been working breakfast, lunch and dinner ever since X-mas day until yesterday when we closed. And yesterday I had a dentist appt. for a root canal. Today is finally catch-up day for my personal stuff.
First, a huge thank you to everyone who pitched in on the gift for me and to Zip for organizing it! And zip, you have great taste and impeccable timing, I just broke the zippper on my old black north face jacket and what should the gift from you and everyone be? Of course, a black North Face jacket. You couldn't have selected a better gift!
So it looks like (almost everyone) has been having a great time with some truly touching ad thoughtful gifts.
Anita, I am not sure why your gift has not made it. Your Santa even posted earlier on this thread that it was put into the mail a little late on the 24th but I am surprised it hasn't arrived yet. Maybe it's a customs thing? Hopefully any day now it will arrive. I am sorry it has taken so long. =( Please keep me updated on the progress. I also emailed your Santa to find out if maybe it was returned to him for some reason. I will let you know what I find out.
If anyone else has not received their gift (except for one other person, Mike F. which will be in the mail on Thursday due to sender working the same hellish work schedule as me) PLEASE let me know so i can send emails to find out the scoop.
Hope everyone has a wonderful 2015! Thanks for being an awesome group of people!
-Nick

Secret Santa delivery! Lovely set of "Liquid Ascent" glassware, primed for conversation lubrication. A classy, useful and down to earth gift I would never have chosen for myself. Will enjoy immensely. My town is full of scientists, my guests will love these profiles of nearby peaks.
From a city just a few miles away, thank you Santa! Open invite to visit! My local pub is Lucky Baldwin's in East Pasadena.
Sorry state of my glassware - two surviving Mexican style tall glasses, the rest are short or made for cupholders

Cheers Pocoloco1,
I keep mine in the freezer, and have a small shot as an after dinner drink. Christa likes it with Champagne.

Good to the last drop! Sipping the last of the Peet's coffee from my Secret Santa. Never did figure out who you are, yet a BIG THANKYOU shout-out to you!
BTW, the water bottle turned out to be too much temptation for my wife and she's adopted it, says she likes the graphics and that its "just the right size" lol.
