John & Joe,
I'll second Joe's comment that feeling festive is proving to be problematic
for many this year. I too am unemployed, and may soon be forced to sell my
house, rather than lose it to foreclosure. From a personal financial
perspective, I'm in the worst shape in the 35 years of my adult life. That
being said, I'm not dead yet, and as long as I'm breathing, I believe there
are possibilities. Perhaps 2009 will see those possibilities come to
fruition.
With that, I will wish everyone the best of the Holiday Season, and a very
Happy New Year! May the future bring all of us the joy, prosperity, and
renewal we need.

John,
Perhaps the economy is so bad that most people are not feeling particularly
festive this year.
Being unemployed myself, I can certainly vouch for the dismal feelings that
are accompanying this holiday season.
But I try to make the best of it and will be having both my kids and their
families here this year. So it can't be all bad.
Cheers,
Joe

Over the ten + years I've been reading the daily missives from these lists,
I've never known it so
late before the usual Christmas Greetings have started going out. Maybe list
janitors have put a
block on them and surely I can't be the first?
So, if they haven't filtered Seasons Greeting notes to the trash-can, a very
Happy Christmas to you
and your families - and I greatly look forward to being able to put many
faces to names as I
complete my Canada and U.S. odyssey next year. Being now completely
Triumph-less, I'm also looking
forward to reading (in a few days time) of how many 'best beloveds' have
invested in bottom end
gasket sets, reliable flasher units, non-squeaking clutch release bearings,
6-3-1 exhaust
manifolds - and other 'essentialatum' for you all.
Therefore, "Happy Christmas" and remember, whatever you do over the holiday
that you enjoy, it's
probably a sin :)
