I am *not* Bee-dubya-ell's Secret Santa, but I am wondering about him, too.

He and I exchanged a couple of brief PMs just before Ivan hit, and I was a little short with him, and uncharacteristially dismissive of something he suggested. (Well, I'd like to *think* my ungraciousness was uncharacteristic, anyway.) Now I feel terrible about the whole thing and wonder when I'll have a chance to make things right!

Here's hoping that he's too busy to fool with us right now, but that his life and property have not been too terribly disrupted.

If you see this, Bruce, drop me another PM (at your convenience, of course) and we'll pick up where we left off...
