Hi Steve,
Well I figure it wont do any of us any harm to say a prayer for each other 
that 2010 will be a much better year than 2009! One would truly hope so!
I'm a true believer in thinking positive no matter how bad things have been. 
If we think positive, say a small prayer and try to make our lives and that 
of others better, in some small way helpful things happen. As simple as 
listening to a buddy when he's having a down day. It doesn't take much to 
help someone feel a little better.

Now isn't she a delightful young lady! Yes she has that "California Girl" 
look developing. :-) We who have been fortunate to share your pictures of 
her from birth to this photo it's as though we're a kind of surrogate 
relative having watched her grow-up! :-)  A nice feeling. :-)

Sometimes it's easier to take one day at a time and give thanks we had the 
day to live. A simple hug can do wonders to make another feel better even 
for a few moments they know they are not alone. So please let me in that 
case, offer a big hug to the LUG family!

cheers,
ted
