Can you believe it. I am still alive. heeeee heeeeee
Good deal Richard on your job. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to ALL.......
I bought some more Karaokee CD's or something like that for the New Year to sing my life away.
Yup should be fun. Maybe I should do something and put it on my Server and you all can view it.
Hmmmmm does man have that kind of time anymore? Well that's what is wrong. We don't make time anymore.
Okay New Year resolution. Make time so I can have some time to do what I gotta do. Sounds good don't it.
Hey chat with you all later. Have a Great New Year and be safe and careful.

Dave and I drove Kevin back to Belfast yesterday afternoon. The storm was already there when we arrived around 6:15. We drove back in some rough weather. Real slow going from Belfast to Bangor. Visibility was nil. 30 north of Bangor - clear sailing but we'd lost a lot of time and so didn't make it back til almost 11:30. Should have been 3 1/2 hours both ways. ah well. Home safe and sound. Well worth it to have the four of us together for Christmas!
I was in VT for my gettogether with family on Sunday and Monday. Sang with my church's choir on Christmas Eve and spent time with my friend Joy after that. Traveled just to Derry, NH in the middle part of the day yesterday to spend time with my late wife's family then scooted home to ride out the storm which dumped a foot of the "white gold" here in the afternoon and night. Sunny with a strong NW wind today and the post-storm cleanup outside is in pretty good shape. We had lost most all of the snowcover here Friday with the heavy rain that fell, but Springfield still had snow on the ground. A hearty HI to all.
Don't tell me .....everyone's out taking advantage of those fab after Christmas sales!

Happy Holidays all, I'm just taking a break from the post wrapping paper mess to send an invite to Roland. Something went awry with his first invite so he's asked for another. Guess that means we'll be seeing him here soon!

Richard, congratulations on your new position. that's a great way to start the new year.

Sounds good, Richard!
Hi Gang, That is great to hear that you are doing well and am employed Richard. Hard to imagine that it is Christmas in a few days.....hope everyone has a happy holiday.
Lori, I'm glad you are safe. They Were showing mud slides and things like that, looked very nasty.

Richard, I'm so glad your work situation has worked out so well.
Hi- Happy everything to all- or at least have a happy something! Today is my first day in a new position at the same company. My engineering group is gone and our work was moved back to headquarters in Switzerland. Friday would have been my last day, but they took my advice for a new position and gave me the job. It took the professional resolve of Eliot Ness (the G-Man that got Al Capone) to pull it off, but my new job is great. I am the Business Development Manager with no people reporting to me- yahoo!!!!. I get to go to customers, find out what their most important problems are, scratch my head, and broker solutions. I'm sort of a front man for the R&D group in Switzerland. Hope all is OK out there in your real worlds, too!!!

Yes, Nancy, we have been getting a lot of rain lately, but right now I'm looking out the window and it's sunny again. I like living in a sunny place, but it is nice when it rains here cuz it seems more special. Happy holidays everyone! By the way, Richard, how's work going? Are you staying at that job? Hope it worked out for the best.
