I hope all of you have had a great holiday time. This is the time of year when the Classic Tour takes a break. It's a good thing because I don't know how I would fit in a tournament!
For me the holidays began around the first of December. I flew down to Florida to do some Christmas shopping with some girlfriends. There were six of us and we stayed right at the Florida Mall. Thats the best way to shop, just fill the bags and walk them back to the hotel room thats connected to the mall and start all over again! Talk about shop till you drop! It was a blast. Then I was able to visit mom and brother Michael for a couple days while I was there. Played some tennis (my new love) with my buddy Diane and then flew back home.
I had some book orders waiting for me. In case you didn't know, I wrote a childrens pool instructional book (you can see it at superbilliardsexpo.com) and it is going real well. There were a lot of lucky kids out there that received a book for Christmas! I was pleasantly suprised when my sister, who works for Rebok headquarters, said they wanted to sell the book in their home office store! That was so cool.
Pictured above is a photo that was taken at the Boston Commons with my sister Peg and Beau. We were in Massachusettes visiting the few days before Christmas and decided to go to Fanuel Hall to have chowder and see the lights at the Common. I really miss Boston, it's such a clean city and there is always something to do. Brings back the days when I went to Berkley School of Music. In between classes a few of us would hang out at the Common for lunch.
Today I went with a friend to see the Phantom of the Opera for the first time. It was playing in Philadelphia. What a great event. If you haven't seen it before I highly recommend it. There is so much talent out there it is overwhelming and such an inspiration.
Well, this is how I have been spending my Christmas vacation so far. I can't wait to see what the new year brings. I'm not really someone who sets a New Years resolution. I believe in making changes I know I need right away, no sense in waiting. But you never know what life has waiting for you around the next corner!
Have a happy and safe New Year
Dawn
