Home again, home again, jiggedy jig!! Secret Santa, your little pre Christmas gift from the Getaway really cheered me up. You see, I was in a hotel room, as part of a very intense campaign. I had been away from home for two weeks, was so lonely and tired, and no access to the Internet. Couldn't even Mudcat. I was getting things out of the trunk of my car, and ...lo and behold....there was the Christmas Ale. I had forgotten it there, as my life has been a blur since I got home from FSGW. Fortunately the weather was cool, and it was the perfect temperature (cellar temp) for drinking. So I sat in my room, played my guitar, drank the wonderful gift of Ale, and thought about the precious friends I have made here. Thanks, Santa.

All the best,

Mick
