Folks,

Just to wish you all a very happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.

For all those ex pats and Africaphiles, I'll be raising a glass of my favourite malt whisky to "absent friends, wherever they may be" at 2100 hours Central African Time.....hope some of you can join me.

At least the Kiwis can beat Aussies at least at one thing .


Christmas lunch here and gone already.

Steve and all others,

Merry Christmas and I will join you in a glass of shiraz this evening.

Steve, you everybody else have a Merry Christmas, and as a side note, we are having a white Chrstimas in South Texas. We have something unheard of, we have snow. Its only snowed twice in the last 20 yrs or so in this part of the country. Some parts of South Texas have 3".

If it keeps it up I can build a snow man, havent done that since I was a kid growing up in Oklahoma.

I got to go drink another beer and watch it snow.

10 pm X-mas eve here. Merry X-mas to all and to all a good night !
