Just letting you all know that you'll be in the capable hands of Quiffy and the Chairman from Friday evening, Dec. 20 - Sunday evening, Dec. 29. That's right! Yours truly's heading home to the 'rents in Connecticut, USA, for Christmas for the first time in several years - about time, too!
Will probably make for a relaxing, if not slightly boring ( 
) time, but I need a little parental coddling after being so darn sickly recently, hehehe... Plus, I won't have to cook! YAY!!! 
My parents do have an Internet account, so I may check in periodically during the week, but I won't be able to hang out for extended periods of time, as they've only got dial-up... At any rate, I'd like to wish everyone who celebrates it a very Merry Christmas! Hope Santa (or Father Christmas, etc. 
) showers everyone with lots of nice pressies! Don't get too drunk, now, kids! Take care, everybody!!! 
P.S.: If I remember correctly, a couple of people mentioned awhile ago that they might be venturing to New York City for the holidays (?). If this is indeed the case, and you'd like to meet up there sometime between Dec. 26-28, *please* PM me and I'll give you my parents' home phone # in Connecticut (none of us has a cell phone, unfortunately...)! I know we'd have a freakin' BLAST!!!
