Well happy new year all.  I haven't been around lately, I work at the
state university and it gets busy in the autumn.  I think of you all and
wonder how the shorties are doing, and never forget how you stood by me
when h0p was so ill and George had his tumour.

New year's day 2004 is a very special day at our house, a day we feared we
wouldn't see.  It's h0p's eleventh birthday and he'd doing well.  I wanted
to share with you guys :)
