Dec. 21, 2000

I am looking forward to going home for Christmas on Friday. Hopefully, I will get some good presents. I only asked for one thing, a cell phone.

My Christmas shopping has not been completed. I have not had a lot of time to do it with all the basketball games we have been playing.

The team has four days off before having to report back on the 26th for practice. Our next game is not until Dec. 29 when we play Long Island.

I am hoping to get some time to see some old teammates. I plan on seeing Todd Palmer and Jimmy Dillon. Todd and I will probably go visit Jimmy down in Philadelphia for a day.

Also, I plan on visiting my old high school, Delbarton, and see my high school coach Dan Whalen. Hopefully I will get some time to see my AAU coach as well.

It is the only time that we get a break during the season. Even though it is only for a couple of days, it will be nice to have some time to relax. I plan on packing a lot visits into those days but it will all be worth it.

Hopefully it will stop snowing long enough for me to make it home.
