I haven’t been able to post or read much lately because I’ve been busy with my family. I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everybody out there who celebrates it, and let’s hope that common sense will prevail throughout the world in 2005. Whoever you are, wherever you are, enjoy.

PS   A note for anybody who has my “jofish” email address; That account has gone belly up and I’ve lost all my contact addresses. Please send me your email address in a private message.
