Greetings:

This is what our Los Altos neighborhood always looks like on Christmas eve.

In addition, while I was putting up the candles last night this really gorgeous young reporter came up to me and said "Sir" (young women can be cruel, you know) can I interview you?......etc. Needless to say, Mary Laura didn't share my enthusiasm for her good looks.

I made the local news ABC station with five different blurbs. Actually I got more coverage than any other person in a city of 600,000. My 2 minutes of fame - the remaining 13 minutes are reserved for Clatskanie, Oregon.

All the best for the coming New Year of 2006

Mary Laura, Freda & Spiro

ps. Thank you to photographer and neighbor Jim Holbrook for the pictures.
