Where to start.... I have a LOT to be thankful for this Holiday! Got a box of genuine Belgium Chocolates from Diane in Flanders (I'm now 'fat, dumb, & happy' as my wife says), got some cool Fire Dept stuff from Dave 'Ancho Rat' in CA, and a sore arm from trying out a really neat boomerang from BVD Rangs (THANKS Dave Hendricks!). My wife got a beautiful jade pendant from Tony Flynn (Grandad is feeling frisky I think ;-). I've also got an ounce of Tepin seeds for next years 'open fields' planting. Got them from Tough-Love (still haven't paid him yet & no nasty-grams. Check's in the mail, honest Dave!) Almost starting to feel like Christmas around here :-) Have to get some more bread out to keep this going ;-) I also would like to apologize for my slow mail here lately. My ISP, it seems, is trying to ruin me right in time for Christmas. Were it not for the folks at http://www.habanerosauce.com (who also double as OUTSTANDING web gurus) I'd STILL be without e-mail. We don't even want to imagine what that would be like ;-) Bottom line is- WHAT A GREAT LIST! -Jim C MWPH
