December 2008 
 Holiday Greetings!

Winter is here and it is beautiful.  We are enjoying days of sunshine 
and palm trees and we need only go out our front doors to see this 
beauty.  No long plane rides are required for us to enjoy the best 
weather anywhere. 
 
I hope you are out getting exercise at places 
other than the malls (not that there is anything wrong with malls...
after all I hear they help keep the economy going).
 
 Merriment is everywhere.  There are so many pretty things to see and 
fun things to do in December.  We can take a stroll to see the 
neighborhood decorations, or visit one of the many resorts for a cup 
of tea (or your beverage of choice) and just chat with friends and 
family.  The twinkling lights and smiles can help you forget the 
daily drama and remember how lucky we are to be here of all places on 
earth.
 
The new Metro rail will begin December 27 at 10 a.m. with free rides 
and festivities at the major stops. It should be a great party for all.

Special Holiday Office Hours!
 
In order to maximize our enjoyment of the season the office will be 
on reduced hours. We will be scheduling patients on Monday December 
22 at the usual hours then taking a break until Friday January 2 when 
we will resume patient scheduling. 
 
If you have and emergency health issue call the office or Dr. Keatons' cell phone emergency line at 602-332-2206 for directions.
 
From December 22 until January 2, during the office closure,  
Michael and Melanie will be at the office periodically to assure you 
can get supplements and to help with office issues and scheduling.  
One of them will have the office open the following times:

Tuesday December 23 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Monday December 29 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Check your supplement stock and we will look forward to seeing you 
soon.


Sincerely,
