Merry Christmas

I hope you had a great Christmas! I know I certainly received some great gifts, much better than I should have, it seems that Santa Claus must not be checking his famous list all that thoroughly.

I'd like to thank everyone for the fantastic gifts, e-mails and text messages! I spent the afternoon watching classic Pittsburgh Penguins hockey games including Mario Lemieux's 2000 come back, the seventh game of the Stanley Cup finals 2009 and the Penguins first Winter Classic..... A perfect Christmas for me.

I also could not put down my new Stephen King book, Full Dark No Stars . Not your typical Christmas day read, I will give you that. But if you like the master storyteller, I recommend picking it up.

And just to remind us that we are never too old for a Christmas toy, let me tell you about one gift I received. A radio controled helicopter ( Air Hog ). I had a great deal of fun flying this around my living room! Yes it took a little getting used to but even as a person with quadriplegia I was able to take to the skies.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday, I'm going back to Stephen King and a mug of hot tea!
