Temptation & Curiosity

I've posted our first poll (see right bar), which closes exactly 24.5 shopping days before Christmas.  Big-box investment? Stocking Stuffer? Scary Alternatives? No Peaking? You choose!

There are so many areas of burning curiosity in This Old Purple House. This morning I was thinking about how this multifaceted, multi-variable project is kind of like one of those uber-planned (and luck-laden) spy-thief thrillers.


Remember Stella (Charlize Theron) from The Italian Job?  She needed her scopes!  Whereas her dad (Donald Sutherland), he did it by touch.  Then there was Left Ear (Mos Def) -- he just blasted his way in (with finesse, of course.)  And last, but certainly not least, Handsome Rob (the truly yummy Jason Statham), who patiently waited in traffic (in the sequel), because that's what the job required.


So, put yourself in first-time-master-planner Charlie's (Mark Wahlberg) shoes.  Which tool should we have on our wish list for Santa?

or


Or neither?  Please weigh in on the poll and add any comments you feel relevant to the decision/discussion.  Thanks, all!
