PEEP PEEP !!!
Here I am Peeping Don. No that doesn't sound to good so maybe just the Peeper. Not to good either. So I guess I'll just go by Pop. Hope everybody had a safe and sane New Years Eve. Mom and I spent a quiet evening at home and made it until midnight in New York. Actually I did. I had to wake mom to say Happy New Year. We then went up to bed and turned the TV on. It was a struggle but I made it for Chicago. Mom didn't. I have to say the TV coverage of the Chicago event was pretty lame.

I have been having back trouble for over a month now and it has gotten pretty painful especially at night. I have been going to Dr. Fay and he sent me for Xrays but they only showed minor degeneration due to age. Nothing that would cause my pain. Wednesday night it was so bad I couldn't sleep at all even with mega doses of Ibuprofin. I saw him again yesterday AM and he pretzeled me and said if I wasn't substantially better by Monday he wants me to get an MRI. The rest of the day and night I was able to go without pain killers. Hopefully everything will be back to normal by Monday.

I have been working on the Christmas cards gluing them to the wood, cutting around the perimeter and giving them two coats of lacquer. Now they need to cure for about a week and then I can start making the puzzles. Dave & Melissa, I hope yours turns out. It was a bear to glue together. I only have forty four to do this year.

LOVE you all

Pop
