I received a Christmas card from Marlys (what can I say, I address my cards for the upcoming year before the old year ends). She wanted me to let everyone know that she is thinking of the group and that she is trying to figure out how to get back. Apparently her old computer slipped away one night never to work again, and her new one, as well as her new service provider won't allow her access to newsgroups. She is still trying to find a way to get back to us, never fear.
That's my public service announcement for today....oh, and watch out for the stomach bug that seems to be going around...it is NOT pleasant.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
