Have a Merry Christmas

Thanks to Facebook, the new international party line, we have been getting good wishes and greetings from many of my former students and various friends who live far away, from Taiwan to West Virginia. And thanks to the United States Postal Service, we have received several dozen cards and letters from family and long time friends, with their best wishes as well. We are still working on the Linville Holiday letter so for now, I'll just wish everyone a healthy, peace-filled day and evening, with safe travel if that is also in your plans. On our agenda today: listening to Christmas music, baking a pie for dinner tonight with friends, and dreaming of sunshine, somewhere....it's kind of dark and dreary here this morning.
