Doug

We are always getting asked what we or our children want for birthdays, Christmas, etc., and in the heat of the moment, we cannot think of a single thing besides our standbys: movies, books, and games. So, we decided to maintain a list of our "wishes" that we will update whenever we come across somethimg we like. Now we can point friends and family to our wish lists when they ask what we want, and Doug won't have to guess on Sheilah's gifts anymore (thankfully, this means no more camp shovels, hatchets, or dutch ovens).

Doug's wish list:
Books (in no particular order):
Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand)
Catcher in the Rye (J. D. Salinger)
Think and Grow Rich (Napolean Hill)
How to Catch a Roadrunner (Neil Rock)
Influence: Science and Practice (International Version) (Robert B Cialdini)
The Five Love Languages (Gary Chapman)
27 Powers of Persuasion (Chris St. Hilaire)
Crucial Conversations: Tools for Resolving Broken Promises, Violated Expectations, and Bad Behavior (Kerry Patterson, et. al.)
Influencer: The Power to Change Anything (Kerry Patterson, et. al.)
Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High (Kerry Patterson, et. al.)
The Price of Glory (Battletech #8), (William H. Keith, Jr.)
Mercenary's Star (Battletech #7), (William H. Keith, Jr.)
