Hi folks, Just want to wish one and all the joys of this holiday season with much prosperity, happiness, fulfillment and rightness in the New Year. I regret I was not able to participate in a number of interesting threads over the past while but recent professional and personal matters all conspired against me. I have, of course, been reading selected threads and posts, and even downloading some pix . Thanks for some interesting and useful links some of you have provided. Looking forward to another intriguing (and often perplexing) year on lit-ideas trying to figure out who's who and what's what in our little cafe. I'm still recovering from finding out that Erin is really Andy Amago and that Robert Paul is a digitalized persona created by Phil Enns and that translator-guy who keeps claiming he lives in the south of Paris. Whoever and whatever you are, I toast you all with a dram (or two:-) of some VERY smooth and estery 18 yr. old Glenlivet: na zdarovye, tovarishy! I (somewhat prematurely) sRozhdestvom Hristovom! (Greeting valid only where culturally appropriate, terms and conditions apply, offer subject to approved credit and not available in Republican states or the province of Quebec, Canada, city limits of Greater Montreal notwithstanding).
