From my mother, I got exactly what I was expecting, mostly. I got T Is for Trespass--but it's a signed copy, which means Sue Grafton did a book signing in Pasadena some time in the last two weeks. I also got a toy rocket set from some friends, complete with tiny Apollo capsule, shuttle, Mars Rover, and Soyuz.
