At first, I didn’t know what to think as I stared down at the NeoCom in my hand. The message was clearly titled “Message from Santa Claus to Roc Wieler.”

It had to be some kind of a joke.

Yet there he was on the other end of the vid; the big man himself.

One of my fans had sent Santa a letter on my behalf. Touching, I guess.

“Should’ve spent more time at the gym. Santa isn’t impressed.”

Hard to take that seriously coming from a fat guy.

Anyway, whoever sent that in, thanks for brightening my day.
