Wow!

Pete, I can't thank you enough! I'm just going to have to pick up my building pace with all these goodies. I've been a little lax lately with all the festivity preparations. In any case, this nice little package certainly will make my Xmas. It's going to be cool to see the little Tipo's one day - 2009 will be an exciting year!

Santa (that is me up at these latitudes) brought me some really good Single Malt Fudge candies and Mrs. Claus (not knowing the first thing about RC - bless her heart) got me a great book on Mediterranean cooking - something I enjoy doing given the right occasion. However, the biggest thrill I got this Xmas was watching my two kids' expressions early this morning when they saw their stockings... no substitute.

This news Pete put the same sort of look on my face as they had this morning -

Time for some rest, David.
