Happy New Year, Everyone

      Just a brief note here to wish everyone a happy new year, 2004 certainly having proven a year more for bad news than good. My apologies again to everyone still waiting for emails. I'm off shortly to make fake merriment in a few of my locals, in itself not a wise idea given the ridiculous amount of imbibing that's been on the docket the past while. Ah, nobody ever said the life of a gad was an easy one.... One of these days I'm going to wake up and discover that my life has indeed become a Jimmy Buffet song. But, onward ho, he says steeling himself for another night of misbehaviour. Have a good one, everybody. Cheers.
