A Favorite Christmas Gift

As a man, Dale was quite interested this year in receiving a Blu-ray disc player to play the latest and greatest high-definition discs. As a loving son, Daniel was anxious to give his father something he wanted - he just didn't spell very well. And so it is that on Christmas morning, Daniel gave Dale a Blue Ray Disc Player instead of a Blu-ray Disc Player.

The instructions were simple. Connect the first wire to the battery and the blue Christmas light shines a blue ray. Connect the second wire to its battery and the disc spins (by a motor mounted to an old light socket). It has a blue ray and Dale can watch his discs. Isn't that what he wanted?? And who knew it could all be accomplished with leftovers and a hot glue gun? I recommend clicking on the picture to see it in greater detail!
This fine invention also made me think of another of Daniel's finer creations. At the end of the summer, he had saved enough money to purchase an iPod Touch for himself. Once he received it, he felt it needed a name and so he dubbed it Ichapod. Once it was named, he felt it needed a home. The picture below shows his home with beds, shelves, a door, a window, a hook for his headphones, and a bearskin rug for a nice touch! This Christmas also brought a gift of a stereo system with a docking station so Ichapod has a new home now, but none will ever be as nice as that original home sweet home! Ah, to live inside Daniel's head for but a moment...........

That is so much better than socks (what I usually get my dad for Christmas)!
