Hi folks.This is wishing you and yours a great week after Christmas. I hope your Christmas day was as great as mine. I’m posting a couple of photos. Some of the interesting things I did on Christmas day:

Peeled 20 potatoes and stuffed a turkey
Played ping pong with a guy who didn’t object when I expressely asked him if he was a professional
Won a lot of games of ping pong
Went to church and ate a candy cane
Talked with someone who couldn’t stop raving about the quality of celery in Phoenix – “We just can’t stop eating it!”
Played foosball and realized I’m great offense and terrible at defense
I washed my car and used one of those California water blades to wipe all of the water off saving about 10 minutes in dry time
Spilled cranberry sauce on a white table cloth and was able to get it all out using OxiClean
Realized the nickname Superman is really sticking and I’m ok with that even if I don’t always feel like Superman but will do my best to live up to the moniker
Received a new book for Christmas which BrainFuel readers will be happy about: It’s called On Writing Well
Tasted some of the Cave Creek Coffee Company coffee (thanks!) and decided I really like their coffee (the bagged coffee for home preparation)
Ate far too much food
Played poker with 5 friends and came in 3rd
Watched old home movies from 1987 with friends and had a lot of fun watching the clips including seeing myself in them
Took a lot of photos (17,000 in two years on this camera!)
Decided I want to get another dog
Realized far too late all of the funny things I could have said to Santa (see photo below): “Travel much?” and “Shouldn’t you be working?” or “Hi I’m Superman, and I don’t need a sled to fly”
