Want to take a holiday sabbatical away from the blue screen and spend time with family and friends over the coming weeks. Also, I would like to summit a literary K2, Against the Day, having established a secure base camp at page 352. With this in mind I offer sincere Seasons Greetings to all board members and their families and a wish for a healthy, prosperous New Year filled with good books, music and films and better times for all. I offer a full Wassail toast to you:
"Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes
Wherein our saviour's birth is celebrated
The bird of dawning singeth all night long;
And then, they say, no spirit can walk abroad,
The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,
So hallowed and so gracious is the time."
Shakespeare "Hamlet"

Re: Seasons Greetings 2009
Good luck. Wish I was on that climb too, but there's no way I'll get through it, and as I'm away for Christmas, flying, it can't come with me. Inherent Vice, maybe. Happy Christmas!

Best to all during the season. Here's wishing you safe travels as well.
