A big thank you to the following who were kind enough to send me emails, some of which I posted here on the Chipboard, some I forwarded to others and some I could neither post nor forward. They've made me chuckle, laugh out loud, choke on my coffee and at times, moved me to tears. They've always brightened my day.

It should be noted that since I live just north of Boston, just about everyone is from the south or west, seldom from the north and never east. Obviously, the names are aliases - but you all know who you are...

Abie, a gentleman that lives south
Beef, a gentleman that lives south of here
Ebad, a gentleman from the midwest
Dragnet, a gentleman that lives south
Lottie, from out west
Fergie, from the deep south
Geodie, from way out west
Jaybee, from out west
Teel, from out west
The Scribe, a gentlemen that lives south
Rolling Rock, a friend from way out west...

Happy New Year!
