JOHN’S CHRISTMAS LIST – 2011

EXPERIENCES (PREFERRED):

Ok, you already know I like to do stuff with people. So here are a few specific experiences that come to mind this year:

• Having dinner at either Bubba Gumps or Gladstones in Santa Monica
• Enjoy sharing stories over drinks at whatever place in Pasadena, Downtown Los Angeles, New York City – heck in the back of a liquor store if it would make the stories more interesting.
• Go to any Cirque de Soleil performance
• Dinner at the Napa Rose in Grand California Hotel

DONATIONS:

Causes that are most dear to me include:

• Anything supporting the healing of our planet from the effects of human existence, sustainable living initiatives, etc.
• Salvation Army
• The Nature Conservancy
• Red Cross
• Habitat for Humanity
