Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all from Florida. My wife and I will be meeting with Catspaw and family this afternoon. He called from Gainesville last night and plans to pull out about 9:30 this morning (Sunday) which should put them here about 1:00PM. Really looking forward to it!!

I just looked to see when my first recorded post was on the Mudcat. It was at 8:52, January 13th, 1999. I think I lurked for a while before getting involved in posting so I think this is my fourth Christmas as well. I have certainly enjoyed the time and hope that we all can share much more of the future.
