Well, we just got home from our shift at the NORAD Santa Tracking Center. What a blast! There are more than 100 people answering phone calls and e-mails from children all over the world who want to know where Santa is.

Merry Christmas, and if you're here in Colorado Springs and want someplace to hang out tomorrow afternoon, we're having an open house, bring a plate of finger food or chips or something, we'll have a keg of Arctic Lager!

Update on Mum ...
I talked with her for 20 minutes today, and I am much relieved. The doctors did not do surgery on her, instead they put in a drain and what amounts to a colostomy bag (yuck) and she has finally begun responding to the antibiotics.
In short, Mom is responding and recovering. The fever is gone, swelling and redness reduced and is looks like she'll be able to enjoy Christmas.
And my sister brought Mom and Dad two new kittens for Christmas. They've been tearing the house up - climbing the tree, unwrapping presents. In a way, as much as I wish that we were there visiting, I am glad we're not.
So, that's what's up now I need to rest some more before the beer mile!

Lots happening in the Guhrilla kingdom
and forgive me (Catwoman) for not posting more religiously.
Here's the deal: about 2 months ago, my Mother, who lives in Alaska, told me she had to have a lump removed from her breast. It turned out not to be cancerous, which is great.
Monday, she told me she had to go to the emergency room; she has been diagnosed with cellulitis, a serious, potentially fatal bacterial infection.
Wednesday, the infection had doubled in size. The doctors put her on vicodin for the pain and put a port in her arm where they have been injecting major amounts of high-power antibiotics in her blood.
Today, the doctor told her she's got "galloping cellulitis" and they are opening her up surgically to irrigate the infection with antibiotics.
So, if you are religious, please pray for my Mother, Linda. This is a potentially life-threatening infection (but the doctors are NOT using that terminology).
On a much lighter note, please come the the Arctic Brewery's Christmas party tonight! It promises to be a drunk and debauched time for all!
