I sent my giftee a pm via ST mail to let them know who sent their gift but I'm thinking they did not get it.
Should I reveal? They did seem pretty happy.

Ahh cool :) Yep it's there. Dunno how it ended up in junk folder. Computers are not very bright. Glad you'll be enjoying the snow soon. We got didly over here around Tahoe. I guess I'll just have to stick with rock for now and perhaps head down to Jtree after the first. Not such a terrible thing.
Yep I saw your post. I had noticed when the package was picked up that morning.. couldn't believe how fast you posted up the pics.. kinda a trip seeing them on the net.
This was just a lot more exciting than I expected it to be when on a whim I chose to join the exchange this year.
Happy new year to all of you!

Hopefully my less imaginative gifts got to their new home - because of customs requirements, the recipient knows who they're from. One in hobbit-speak is a sort of mathom.

SteveW- Though the signed OBP came from my stash, Santa isn't named Steve for your secret information. LOL
I can let the catch out of the bag but not the other way around. The OP is the Keeper of the Super Secret name list if I understand this scheme correctly
Cheers,
Steve Grossman

I had a surprise waiting for me the other morning. The post man delivered a package with a Wyoming post mark. Inside was a CD with music played by Frank Sanders. As a taster I have set the first track "Angel Eyes" against a montage of photos from my trip to Yosemite in 2012. Hope you like the video and especially hope you like Frank's music. Enjoy.

The sport of rock climbing has grown immensely in recent years,however,not everyone is strong or agile enough to participate physically. If this description fits you,or even if you are an avid rock climbing enthusiast...THIS GAME IS FOR YOU!!!!!
Thank You Secret Santa from the Great White North!!!

I hope the book conveys to you some of the history from this side of the water. I only just learnt how to make a video with pictures and music and I thought Franks track was ideal for that. There may be more to follow :D
It's just turned midnight here so here's wishing everyone a happy new year.

That was cool Andy! Frank is on a transcontinental bicycle tour now, but I'll make sure he sees it. He was on yosar one year in the eighties and all those climbs are familiar to him and I'm sure he'll dig the pairing you did. Oddly enough, yesterday, the 30th, was his birthday!

Hey Jaybro thanks for the post. If Franks birthday is 30th and mine is the 31st we should climb the tower together so we start climbing the tower on his birthday and finish it on mine!! That would be cool especially climbing it in the dark. :D
