In our neck of the woods it's now 11.30 pm on Christmas Eve. Ann has departed
for Midnight Mass. The church bells recording is set for her return, and the
welcome candle is burning in a front window (family traditions). The Christmas
drinks are ready also.

So it's time to wish all who follow rgo and abpo a happy and peaceful Christmas
from both of us. For 2006 we wish you an enjoyable and successful year and,
especially for those who were affected by the many disasters that have plagued
2005, a year free of such difficulties.

For myself, thanks to you all for the pleasure of your companionship here in our
communities.
Dave Gillingham
