waaaaaaaaittttttt for it

I can't believe it has been more than a year since the last post.  To those of you that like the posts, I apologize.  for those of you who don't like the posts, I apologize (for starting to post again).  I am starting today to work up the bicentennial annual holiday letter.  This letter was originally a rant which Ginny would edit to make it seem like a holiday best wishes letter...she is evidently an amazing editor.  I think it has been about two years since the last update so this letter may be annoyingly long but if you are reading it online you always have the option to stop. I'm going to go offline now and start composing...while I'm waiting for the plumber to show up on a saturday (I am assuming the plumber and family will have a nice christmas after this bill is paid).  so ho ho ho to you all and I'll return when I have some holiday writing to share.
