I too don't expect to be back until next Wednesday at the earliest so I will also take this opportunity to say what a pleasure and privilege it has been to share this space and to spend a little time with all of you. I look forward to many more hours imbibing wit and learning, and enjoying the good fellowship which is possible only to those with a commonality of interest. May the peace, good will, and cheer of the season, and in the new year, all the blessings you might hope for, be yours in abundance. BOB
