All I want for Christmas

Last night, Ben was pretty upset.

You see he mailed his letter to Santa "too early" and had some things he wanted to add. But because we told him he could only ask Santa for a couple of presents, he wanted "to change it, but now it was too late."

"What do you want to add?" I asked drying his tear but fearing this would send me beating through crowrds at Box Stores and scrounging on ebay. Or worse -- it would make him greedy.

"Silver and gold crayons for drawing pirates; tape like the one in Papa's office and Santa's extra cardboard for making craft."

I think Santa will be ok with that.

Stop Look and Listen - Part 2

You might remember last year, I wrote to City Hall requesting a cross walk on Circular Rd. They told me no.

Well, this year I asked again and guess what? It arrived! Last month the city put a shiny new cross walk at the corner of Bannerman and Circular Rd. (thanks to DC at City Hall for listening).
Who says you can't fight City Hall?
