BS: The Yool was Cool

Can I just offer thanks to all those Catters, both sides of the Atlantic, who took a practical interest in the recording of Caleb's Cool Yule, the CD/cassette in aid of our charity, Health Help International. To the several people who suggested the song 'Mary, Did You Know?', special thanks – it has been a showstopper, particularly in the live events.

And people have been incredibly generous. A certain Catter in eastern England was personally responsible for a collection of over a hundred pounds… thanks, schoolteacher. When Catter Jeannie and I played the show 'live' to a small church fellowship of perhaps 30 people yesterday, they gave the charity another hundred pounds. A couple of Catters simply popped money into an envelope… including one mailing of some English notes from a New York address. Thanks, friend.

For a good cause, people are wonderful, aren't they? Many thanks to you all.

Oh ****, I'm getting emotional about it.

Cool is the Rule, but emotional is fine, too. "Tis the season.

Have a joyful Christmas, Ian. If you received one tenth of what you've given this year, you'd haveto move to a bigger house.

I don't believe it... a couple of days away over Christmas, and I return to find donations and pledges are still coming in.

People really are terrific, aren't they?
