- Did you know some of Santa’s elves work now offer technical support for malfunctioning modems? It’s true. I made the acquaintance of two of them after a first call to tech support ended in a blind alley and the second was accidentally dropped. But the third call was a rousing success thanks to Century Link technical support elves Akira and Nathan. She stayed on the line until my call was transferred to Nathan. He discovered our modem didn’t need replacing and very patiently walked me through the steps to get it working again. Akira and Nathan, if you see this post, leave your mailing address so I can send you some Christmas cookies.
- Our artificial Christmas tree makes popping sounds all day long. Either the coating on the fake crabapple/cranberry garland is cracking or the entire tree is about to burst into flame. I hope it’s the former rather than the latter since we’re plumb out of marshmallows for roasting.
- Nelson Mandela is a true hero in every sense. The likes of him we will not soon see again.
Who would you add to a “true hero” list?
