Hello All Tet-Mates,

I'd like to take this time to offer anyone and everyone Seasons Greetings, Merry Christmas and Fleece Navy Dot. Yet another Holiday Season has snuck up on me and it'll be another December 24th gas station run to get a gift for the wife. Typically I get her a few Lotto tickets, some chocolate bars and gas line anti-freeze.

All kidding aside I hope everyone finds a modicum of inner-peace and warm laughter comes from your thoughts during these somewhat trying times.

I am in the middle of a kitchen reno and was hoping to be done before Christmas but it will not take place until after Christmas. When I say 'I', I mean the folks I hired. My part was to gut the kitchen, rip down everything, make it empty and provide a clean slate for the pros to fill in. Once it is done Joyce will have a beautiful dream kitchen. The rest of the house is still 'shackish' but that kitchen will look darn fine.

With no kitchen this year there will be no tree and no family coming over. We'll go to the kids this year and be treated royally I'm sure. Me, I'll be cracking wise about how 'in my day' we used to do things differently. (It's expected and also the role I play).

Here's hoping 2020 won't be as crazy as the prior 4,000 or 15 million years (take your pick...it's all a guess).

Merry Christmas, mal

Thanks for the wishes all. I'll leave you with a Christmas joke...

A Jewish lawyer called his Rabbi.
"Rabbi!", he said, "I've taught my son the traditions and lessons of our faith and when he became a man he converted to Christianity!"
The rabbi started laughing and said "Boy, have I got a story for you! My own son, and I'm a rabbi, was taught from the Torah and exposed to all the mysteries of our faith and he too, when he became a man, converted to Christianity!"
"What did you do?" asked the lawyer.
"I spoke to G-d" said the rabbi.
"What did G-d tell you?" inquired the lawyer.
"He started laughing and said..."Boy have I got a story for you..."".

Merry Christmas, mal
:)
