Day 77 of The Great Santa Adventure 2013 – 39 Days to go.

Woke up and going around 6:30. I conducted a test video chat with Santa through the Hello Santa system. I then Skyped with a bunch of Santas getting Santa and Computer2 11-15-13them ready to become Hello Santa Santas. My folks came over in the afternoon to help Marci pack up some things. We visited and watched the USC Stanford football game in the late afternoon. SC won in an upset.

Even though I have 38 more days down here in LA I feel my time is getting short. While I’m looking forward to being at home I also feel that I still have a lot of things down here that I want to get done before I leave.
