How would I get my toys if we didn’t have a chimney, let alone a fireplace? I jumped up, ran out of the room, calling, “Daddy, Daddy!” My dad answered: “Yes, Butchie?” I asked frantically, “How is Santa going to get here with my toys, Daddy? We don’t have a fireplace.” Daddy looked at me and said, “Don’t worry, Butchie, when Santa is in New York City, he uses the fire escape.” Oh boy, what a relief! I ran into the kitchen, got out the milk and cookies, put them out on the fire escape, and went to bed dreaming of Santa.
Wow! I flipped a few more pages, and I saw Santa’s black boots coming down the fireplace.

Even if you can get to it, there's are some things that are a little off or in need of correction, but I haven't had access to any versions of the computer programs I used to create the site (or the subsite it's linked to) since the school closed.

I did take classes in Digital Filmmaking & Multimedia in the mid-2000s, only to have the school shut down permanently about a decade ago.
