Hi Tina,
 welcome home, too bad it was "SO COLD!" and I second the motion on the
"warm Christmas next year!" :) I've not yet taken the opportunity to
celebrate a Christmas on Fiji, tried talking Irene into it a few times, but
she's an old fashion girl who likes Christmas and winter and some snow.

I thnk I'll show her your post about Fiji, maybe encourage her to go to
Hawaii or some other nice warm location for next year.:)

Thank you very much it was very nice to be told early, someone thought it
might make the old guy a nice Christmas gift to let me know. It sure was a
beauty alright and each time I think about the night of the gala and actual
presentation, I start to get a tad emotional. Probably going to be a heck
of a blubbering scene, so we'll need a few Noctilux folks along to capture
me crying all over the place. :) Well you know me, I'm such an emotional
jerk I'll have to make sure I have extra hankies for the occaision. :)

I assume you didn't drop any M6's and lenses, as has been reported by a few
M6 folks on the LUG over the past week. If nothing else the reports of
Leica dropitus as scary as they are, have been a good lesson for many of us
to:  "Lets be careful out there!"

Well LUG mom we mised you also, glad to have you back online with us as we
move through the early stages of this new and interesting year.
