I received ONE OUT OF MANY perfect presents yesterday when the postal elves delivered the MUDCAT STRAWBERRY Record direct from the CAMSCO workshop. I've yet to listen to it, but I'm looking forward to hearing all you folks, including my very GENEROUS Secret Santa, who is on the disc. I also received a secret PM from my SS via catsPHiddle in which I am told to expect a BOOKSTORE GIFT CERTIFICATE, and that my Secret Santa has ALSO made a donation on my behalf to the PEACE GARDENS IN BOSNIA. And, if that wasn't enough, my Santa was going to write a Christmas song, especially for me! Surprise family visitors put the kybosh on that, apparently, but jeez, I am humbled and amazed.                     

Thank you Santa! You've warmed my heart. This here ragtag muddy feline community of virtual strangers has produced, to borrow a quote from the Peace Gardens site, "a bountiful crop of good will."

Peace and good health,
Bardford
