Back when I was older I heard less because I talked more. Now the world seems so much noisier. Maybe it's cuz I'm getting quieter -- but not half as quiet as I'm gonna be!

Jerry, Wesley, Azizi - thank you for your kindness and your prayers. My dad is feeling better! They gave him a day pass yesterday. Having him home for Christmas dinner was the best gift of all! I'm on my way to the hospital to see him now. Thank you so much again, and may everyone here have a peaceful, joyful holiday!
