Thus far I have not been asked to "wear the red" but lots of people have made that suggestion. I can not imagine why ???

Jim, Santa is a great gig. In Austin I made good bread and GREAT tips for easy work with a bunch of repeat customers.

It's also great unpaid. I used to start early on Christmas eve and do the hospice.

A very rewarding gig all around.

928 is a fine way to arrive. 8 cylinders, eight reindeer. Headlights, Rudolf. Works at the day-care when the kids see you arrive. Can't do the sleigh in daytime, it'd cause traffic jams. Kids get the magic.

Jim,

I shared the commercial w/ my wife and she LOVES your baby! She wanted to know if it is a Whippet or an IG...I told her I thought your baby was an IG and that your Whip had gone on to Rainbows Bridge.

She also said you should be Santa Claus every Christmas!

You could look for an Andrew Carnegie role, and play the richest guy in the world 100 years ago rather than a homeless guy in modern times. You are probably too tall though

LOL, I was thinking the same thing.

The dog is a Whippet we have always kept at least one along with the pack of Italian greyhounds. With two fosters we now have six of them !

I love them! We have never had an IG, but we have always had several Whips...we have two "new" ones now. We have only had this pair for a bit over a year. We got them just before we lost Moose (we could see he was really slowing down) so he could "teach them" and he did... I really miss my Moose-man though...he was so good. I could take him anywhere off lead and he LOVED to go for rides in the 928's with me!
