 Ever wonder what Santa’s up to before Christmas?  Follow this link and you will see a video that was on the local news tonight.  It was a great day with some new friends!

Now, if you’d like to read about it in the Star Tribune, here’s the link to that story (really good story about those of us that work with special needs kids)

I was truly blessed to spend the day with the good people at Children’s Hospital and my new friends from Cisco.  The technology was very cool, and since my alter ego is as a geek for Centurylink it was good fun to actually understand what was going on behind the scenes.

I am always humbled when working with kids in the hospital.  They cheer me up every time with their smiles. None of us had much hair, but it just means our brains are so awesome that the fuzz on top cooks off!

Thank you to everyone involved.  It was a great day.

Cisco gave me a chance to visit from the North Pole via their equipment.
