Don't mean to boast, but...

I just want to take this time and space to give Gordon a public "thank you". I don't mean to make him blush (too deep a shade of red), but the man deserves it.

In response to a comment I made earlier in the year that Christmas 2001 was somewhat sucky, he took a good bit of time and effort and thought to compile for me what could only be called "A Christmas stocking by parcel post" which goes well above and beyond the call of duty.

I won't embarress him further by praising each object therein by name, except to say that the whole reflects a rather odd and ecclectic mind that is bursting with creativity... But those of us who know him, already know that.

Gordon, when your birthday rolled around, you worried that you had reached 30 without having made anything of your life... Well, you may not be living on the fast track, but it seems to me that you're living on the right one...

Just wanted to say that...

blah...

My favorite music forum (which is where my other main cluster of friends, besides the Doctor Who group), has been down for the last day and a half days, probably due to the snow in the northeast USA... The thing originates out of two servers in two computers on a certian Max's dining room table.... and that table is somewhere in Connecticut, I believe... And I was fancying a chat with these folks right now...

Bossmonster, the source of animated online games for the purpose of wiling away time, has also been down, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were for similiar reasons...

So even though I'm hundreds of miles south of the snow, it has still forced me to think in terms hibernation ... thank Goddess (and certain special humans) for the pile of new books I got ;-)
