Last year I shared with you my Christmas wish list. This year - I want the same things.

My Christmas Wish List:

Goodwill towards all women and men,

Housing for everyone,

Close the digital divide,

Affordable health care,

Clean air and water,

Respect for those who are different,

A calmer mother nature,

Leave no child behind,

Stop the dumbing down and fattening up of Americans,

A balanced budget,

Religious tolerance,

Fair trade,

Peace on Earth,

and,

A Kings championship!

Is this too much to ask? OK. Maybe the Kings championship is pushing it. But, the others...come on these are definitely possible.

Oh, and for my stocking stuffer - a 20-bagger liquidity event from American River Ventures, so we can fund more great Sacramento-based entrepreneurs. Harry, John, and Corley, are you listening?
