Back From Travels and Thanks

Drove back from MO on New Years Day and was pleased to find that the blog had not gathered cobwebs. New contributors JD and Magister Christianus (Latin teacher can you tell? :-) )took time from their holiday schedules and posted a few thoughts. Many thanks to the both of you and Merry Christmas (today is the 10th day of Christmas if you're counting) and Happy New Year to you and the 10's of folk who visit here every now and again.
