I just got a late Christmas present, the book "Them Dukes! Them Dukes" written by Billie Rae Bates. This thing is 414 pages and at first glance looks fantastic. I'm so excited. I'll read every word of it. I was also told that I am getting something in the mail autographed by John Schneider but it didn't make it before Christmas. The exciting anticipation will definitely delay my usual annual post-Christmas blues.
