    Merry Christmas to all of you. Thanks to everyone for the many times that you've shared your wisdom and advice. May you all enjoy a healthy and prosperous New Year.

    New knowledge is priceless. 

    Used knowledge is even more valuable.

          Funny, there was just an article in the paper last week, on how a group of business owners put up a bulletin board on a city street for the "Airing of Grievances". Kind of interesting how the grievances slowly evolved."These are some of the fun ones, cheered on by folks who are at the kiosk Saturday and Sunday at noon, when the grievances are read aloud by a town crier -- a local business owner in a jester hat.But as the days went on, the notes on the kiosk this week got more personal. And many of the folks posting didn't know a thing about Festivus, they simply saw the board as a confessional, a chance to air their heartbreaking operettas. Affairs are confessed in lurid detail. Ex-lovers are cursed. Longings are expressed..."http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/17/AR2008121703791.htmlMerry Festivus to you, too!'Man who say it cannot be done should not interrupt man doing it' ~ Chinese proverb
