To all my bonsai and Internet friends . . .

Starting Friday we'll be down in St. Pete Beach for 11 days of
"babysitting" a 14-year-old grandson, an 11-year-old grandson,
and a 3-year-old granddaughter while their parents spend the
holidays with friends in Ireland (the Republic).

We leave behind a full-time house-bonsai-horses-cats-elderly
aunt sitter.

I will have I'net access down there, but only via web mail --
which I dislike absolutely -- so I may not be on that often from
Friday through January 4, 200(unbelievably)5.

So please accept my early wishes for a very Happy Holiday and a
wonderful (and wishfully) peaceful New Year. May your trees
grow well and your collections stay manageable wherever you may
be.
