Hello my friends,

Athbhliain faoi mheise duit!!!! After an evening of fun, conversation, and drinking a fair amount of "that vile black stuff" (as the fair alison refers to Guinness) , I am up and feeling super and looking out my window at a fresh coat of 8 to 10 inches of new fallen snow and the lake looking grand. (How is that for lousy sentence construction, Alice). Happy New Year to all my friends here. What a party we would have had, had we all been together. Could you imagine the sing about? And the debate between the RUSers and those that don't? We must have a convention, it will rotate between Europe, the States and Oz. Ha Ha, but I feel good this morning, for no particular reason other than I woke up on the right side of the turf and God has made a beautiful day for us.

All the best,

Mick
