Here's some cool holiday fun: Just minutes ago in Illinois our Great Nephew Kaleb opened a gift from Mary, Grace and me - stuffed Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore.
His mom, Best Niece Angela, snapped a pic on her phone, sent it to my phone here in Ohio and I placed it on this page:
Christmas + technology = cool!
Have a Merry Christmas!

We Went To A Fight And A Brawl Broke Out
Mary had to work so her mom, Grace, and I went to check out the Youngstown Phantoms vs. Chicago Steel hockey game at the Covelli Centre Saturday night.
It was Toys-For-Tots night so we brought toys and some members of the U.S. Marines gave us ticket coupons. I like to sit in section 205 just behind the penalty box so I can exhort forward Rich Young during his brawls. He's fun to watch and plays with a lot of spirit and doesn't shy away from a fight. He usually doesn't need any egging on from me.
Saturday night was no exception.
Mid-way through the third period, Chicago began to get a little chippy and and full-out melee broke out. Luckily, I had a video camera with me. As you are about to see, there were fights all over the ice and the penalty boxes were filled on BOTH sides. Young even had to be restrained from making his way into the opponents' box.
Some wild stuff! The Phantoms won 3-1. I normally hate cheering against a Chicago team – especially one with a Chelios on the roster – but the Phantoms are my home team and a heckuva lot of fun to watch. And Young seems to be an up-and-comer...
