Niece Update.

Got word this morning the doctors gave up scratching their heads and did surgery last night. It was an abscess but was tucked under her shoulder blade so the diagnostic imaging couldn't see it.

She's doing fine! Thanks very much for your prayers. She should be out of the hospital in a few days. Yea!

What a relief to know it was something so simple. Best Wishes to the Neice for a speedy recovery.

That's good to hear about your niece. When you mentioned the location of her pain, I couldn't help but think of a friend who had similar symptoms, and it turned out to be lymphoma. Fortunately, she's now cancer-free.

Last night both CBS and MSNBC focused on obesity. I took it personally, so I've been out getting salad fixings, broccoli and the like. Our Christmas parade yesterday was great. We were the only political group to participate, and we got a few thumbs up from the spectators (I don't think it was just because we threw the best candy at - oops, to - the kids).

And now, the gift for the person who has everything:

IT'S that time of the year when wacky gift-giving ideas pop up all over the map. The latest folly is from John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, who is selling her wares through the SoHo store Troy on Greene Street. For just $85, you can buy an Ono-designed "Box of Smile" - a black box which "opens to an empty box with a mirror inset on the bottom to reflect the viewer's smile," its publicity states. Ono recently re-entered the music market with a techno version of her song, "Open Your Box." Page Six

She's doing fine!

Give her a "WhooHooo!" and a hug from all of us.
