I woke up a little after 8. I'd gotten 8 hours of sleep, but it hadn't been restful so I was still tired. I played games for a while and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. A little after breakfast and some surfing Tony called.
The call started out well. He wished us merry Christmas and we exchanged pleasantries. Then he started to describe his self defined treatment regime. The turned into a rant about how the hospital treats stroke patients. Then I asked him if he could use a tablet (he can't). That turned into a rant about having to write all of his ideas down on paper because if he puts them in a computer people on the internet will steal them. Somehow that turned into a rant about the head of the Seattle Catholic cathedral not helping him reform the Catholic church.
It was noon by then and we'd endured 45 minutes of this crap. I told him that we had lunch reservations and needed to go.
I called Hooch to warn him, but it was only 10 his time. Hooch called back later and I debriefed him. He said he'd call Tony. After that we had lunch and then opened presents. I got the stuff on my lists to Hooch and Melissa. John and Patty sent me a wireless camera for keeping track of the dog. Ellen got some cool stuff also, probably from her lists.
After that I sat down and watched football. Hooch sent me a text about his phone call with Tony. Apparently he talked to Yo, too. That turned into a long text session discussion. After some more football Hooch called to ask how to operate the battery charger I gave him. I told him how and we talked about some other things, nothing important.
Ellen fixed steak and baked potatoes for dinner. She smoked the steaks on the Traeger and they were really good.
The rest of the evening was football.
It wasn't as fun a Christmas as when John and Melissa are here, but it was OK.
