We're Off

In a few minutes, Julie and I are leaving for Amsterdam. We'll get back on January 2. We're taking a few days in southern Arizona and will return to work on January 9. Over the next two weeks, posts will be sporadic. We have reservations in a hotel that has internet access so I plan on keeping up with you, writing a few entries and, perhaps, including a few photos.

I've been busy lately and haven't kept up with reading and writing comments on all of your blogs. My silence doesn't communicate how much I appreciate each of you. Your friendship fascinates me. It's exciting to read your perspectives, to be suprised by your comments and to know there are some fine people in this world.

I wish all of you a merry Christmas, a happy holidays, a joyous winter solstice and a bright new year.
