"You pile up enough tomorrows and you'll be left with nothing but a bunch of empty yesterdays. I don't know about you, but I'd like to make today worth remembering."

-Meredith Willson, The Music Man

It was actually a pretty productive day, unfortunately, most of it involved office work that is not very interesting so I will spare you the details.

I received an iTunes gift card from my wife and I was able to download some new music. While I was on iTunes I also downloaded the latest episode of This American Life. When I was back home it was the highlight of my drive to listen to it on the way to work. They allow you to download a free podcast every week. You have to pay for older episodes. You can click on the logo to go to their website.

This weeks episode is a good example of how the show can make you both laugh and almost cry in the same episode. Take a listen. I promise you will be addicted. It is like nothing you have ever heard.

I received a whole box of Christmas stockings. I will bring them to the office party that will be happening soon.

A good friend of mine sent me a harmonica. It will be so fun to learn how to play.



I was also sent 2 new books. I think that I am the only person over here that has not yet read them. I plan to start with the Kite Runner first.

The wonderful kids from the Gaffney, South Carolina 8th grade class left me a great comment on yesterday's blog. I also received a bunch of letters and poems from them. I find it so funny that they are no longer able to say Ho, Ho, Ho and that it has been replaced by Ha, Ha, Ha.

It is so funny because I have a picture of the students and I bet that I could match their comments with their picture, especially !!!X!DREW!X!!! (")(-_-)("). He reminds me of myself when I was his age.

Here is one of their poems.

Here Comes Christmas

-

Christmas is coming

and everybody wants a lot of gifts

but that is not what Christmas is about

Christmas is for the love of Christmas.

-

It's just right around the corner

and no one can wait

it seems like Christmas is gonna be late

but the birth of Christ is not too late.

-

I wish you a Merry Christmas

and the best of luck, never give up hope,

Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas

to you and all.

-

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

Thanks for reading
