Ahh, vacation.  I’ve been off work since last Thursday afternoon, not to return until the morning of Jan. 3.  Twelve whole days off (sorta … I’m still on e-mail patrol).  Not sure what I’m going to do with myself.

Christmas celebrations with the family were quite pleasant.  In all, the holidays have been pleasing.  Still a bit empty without my grandfather, but we’re adapting.

My friend Duane has a contract to get another book published.  Woo hoo!  I’m thrilled for him, and hope that more books will follow.

To all (five) of my loyal readers … merry Christmas, and a happy and profitable new year!
