Planning to have breakfast Thursday about 8 am at the Arcade restaurant. Any other Santas interested? Catch the trolley across the street from the hotel and ride down to near the train station. It's the oldest reataurant in Memphis and Elvis used to eat there. Great Southern breakfast choices. Buy the $2 day pass when you board the trolley, exact change needed!

“This Momma just cried in the middle of Target. We were at Target waiting on Grammi and we found some dinosaurs. Owen grabbed all 3 and we were trying to pick out which one he wanted when Owen abruptly yelled ‘HI’ at this older man walking past us.
He turned around and said ‘hey sweet boy’ he proceeded to play dinosaurs with Owen. With this crazy world we live in I was a little hesitant as to how close he was with Owen. The man got his wallet out and pulled $20 out, he put it in Owens pocket on his shirt and said ‘I just lost my 2 year old grandson last week. You take this money and buy this boy all three dinosaurs’ and rubbed Owens back, wiped his tears and walked off.
After Owen yelled ‘thank you’ the gentleman turned around and yelled boomer sooner! There is still some good in this world!”

After losing to my wife in Mini-Golf at Raptor Falls in Arundel, Maine, the sting of defeat was eased by a little 3 year old girl with pigtails and a big smile who waved and said "Hello Santa!"

There's a nice story on Santa Camp and some alums in many papers today, including the Providence Journal. Here's a link:

Picture a quintessential New England summer camp, but replace cabins with a conference center and the campers with Santas, Mrs. Clauses and elves.

Here in Rhode Island I have been fortunate to be able to get a free Covid test every week. The state health department emails me the results of my rapid test within a few hours. I have then copied the official results and sent them to the people that I will be visiting in the next few days, for their piece of mind. Hopefully Covid will not be such a huge concern for us next year, but if it is, sending an official test result to the people you are visiting with may be a good idea.
