Friday, January 2nd: East Brunswick, NJ     Today is dedicated to getting the tree down at Mom's house, then getting Christmas stuff put away at Roy and Trudi Lefavour's just up the road.  The rest of the day will consist of a trip to the Bank and hopefully a visit with lifelong Joe Caporrino.  Sherlock continues to enjoy his time in Miami.  Last night he stayed with his dear friend Will Ortiz and his family who live in Miami Lakes, Florida.
