All you old timers know how I am, and I know who you are. I don't post
anymore, no time or need for the aggravation, to be frank, but I've met some
very good, life-long friends and to you folks, I offer a New Years Post.

Ladies and gents, take a moment to go get a glass of something pleasant to
drink. I'll wait.

There, now that you're all back, raise your glasses, please

To absent friends and a profitable and Happy New Year.
Tony, Gil, and the rest, we'll always remember you.

All the best to you John, and if fond thoughts can penetrate the veil,
I'm sure Tony is feeling a lot of them.
