- Wanted to drop you a line !

- yet again, I'm humbled and feel in deep need of your forgiveness. I can honestly say that I have struggled. I have felt so torn, not really feeling any sense of inspiration. I've beat myself, figuring; "how could I possibly commit to a daily piece, if I have so many dry spells in between?" Then it hit me. I've been writing more now, than ever before. I need to give myself some credit.

I was especially moved when I got to see Lisa this Christmas, she spoiled us. When she came over with Billie-Jo ((her mother)) she brought some lovely gifts, I received a very handsome note book and pen. I've honestly had a difficult time going anywhere without it. I've taken time to write down ideas, and thoughts before, I've just not taken to the practice as seriously as some. It's a little frustrating, because now that I have a book for making notes, there's been no notes to make !!! I know it will come, and those moments will happen, I'm just wanting more than is there right now.

The New Year has started with a bang, Josh is playing ball for two teams, Sara is working away the hours ((compared to not working for the last thirteen years)), and Joe & Jack have played their first tournament. Hosted in St. Thomas, by the Shock! I must applaud them for a fantastic event. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, and our boys had a blast. I was surprised to see "Bobby Knight" coaching a group of eleven year old boys from London, but that said; the kids all did very well! For us though; "Busy" would be somewhat of an understatement. We're looking forward to Joshua's two more games this week, hopefully some time back home in Windsor this coming weekend, and in the distant weeks to come, another tournament in Hamilton. I really hope that I'll have more to offer soon, YOUR COMMENTS WOULD HELP!

God help professional sports if the Pat's win the Superbowl, how much does it cost to pay for a perfect season!? I guess it helps to have the League Commissioner in your luxury suite every weekend! Colts, Colts, Colts !!! We'll See Ya Next Year Boys, Thanks, For the Memories this Year!

Love, S.
