The Kalida at St. Henry basketball game was exciting last night. The story of the day has been with my cell phone. The charger port is misconstrued, and the prongs are all mashed together. My phone was dead. That drives me crazy, because now that I have a cell phone I have a hard time getting by without it. Luckily my Dad is an electronics guru. He took the charger apart and found where the positive and negative ports go, and now he recharge my battery without the charger. A genius he is, at least by my thinking. So for the time being the problem is solved! I'll talk to you next year. I was told by a friend that never gets old saying on new year's eve, but I think it does. Later...

Today is a volunteer day at the hospital, but I am excited for much more than donating my time to help people. Later this afternoon I am going to meet up with some friends and go to the Kalida basketball team play at St. Henry. Even though Kalida is a neighboring town, I am rooting for the latter. I have been a Redskin fan since speaking at St. Henry high school in February of this year. Hopefully I will speak to Kalida sports programs too and many other places, but the friendships I have made with faculty at St. Henry will have a lasting memory. It should be a very competitive game as the two schools have only one loss between them.

Wow...I cannot help but recall how much fun was had Saturday night after the basketball game. the game had a lackluster outcome for Bulldog faithful, but that is to be expected against Pandora. The are pretty good this year. I met up with an long time friend, Chris, at the Legion afterwords, and he had his girlfriend Edalia (I have no idea how to spell her name.) They had some karaoke there, and it was so much fun. I even had a chance to dance with Edalia. I do not care who it is with I just love dancing. I was intrigued buy her presence. She serves our country in the Navy and she was very interesting.
Tonight I am going to a basketball game, tomorrow I am going to a basketball game. I am excited!

I sort of met this Tammy person on the telephone yesterday, and I am a little at odds with the whole situation there.

I went with my friend Tony to BW3 in Lima today, and he was home visiting from Michigan. His brother Dan, who still lives nearby met us there. The wings establishment is only about three weeks old. It was good to check it out.

I also just spoke with Ben, a former Columbus Grove Jr. High teacher, when I was in high school. He is now a teacher, assistant principal, and assistant basketball coach at Liberty Benton high school. We have a good time speaking with each other. I've maintained a good friendship with him, because he is one of the coolest people I know. We are both sports enthusiasts so that it always something fun to talk about.

This morning Gerry called my cell phone. He is a guy who used to be real close with my Dad, because he too worked at Phillips in Ottawa. Since they closed shop he has been divorced and lives inn Lima. Gerry is a volunteer friend at the hospital with me. Currently he is in South Carolina with some lady he met. He's been down there all of December, and he is going down there permanently by the end of January.
