Lots of presents

I just noticed a funny thing. I'm traveling for work, and I'm very picky about what I bring; I'm a light packer (one shoulder bag for a week trip), but I like to be as prepared as possible. Here are some of the things I have with me:

• Timbuktu bag (present from my parents)
• Down vest to stay warm (present from my parents)
• Rain jacket (present from my parents)
• Spacepak clean/dirty clothes bag (wedding present I think?)
• Socks (present from Killian's parents)
• Headphones (present from Killian)
• More socks (present from Killian's parents again!)
• Peacock-feather-pattern dress shirt (present from my parents)

Isn't that nice? I think the majority of the things I have with me are presents from someone! And I'm staying with friends, so that's like a present, too. I have a reputation for being hard to buy presents for, but apparently people are doing great at it!
