To all my SimV friends, acquaintances, strangers (not many stranger than this bunch!

), and everyone else: Happy Holidays and may your times be full of good memory making moments.
Yeah, I know I'm a day late, but I'd rather have spent yesterday with my lovely wife than you guys
Anthin: Much like Hawkeye, I've spent more than a few Christmas days alone for whatever reason, whether deployment, badly timed det, or just plain duty section work, so I can relate. I don't say it's good, but we do what we need to, and eventually, we get the reward for it. It's just a matter, for me, of hanging on to the memories made before, and looking forward to what may come to be.
I hope you're doing "ok" and that you can get "OK-er"
And always remember, while we may not be with you physically, all of us are here for you spiritually, at least. Alone is more a state of mind. Fight through, and if there's anything I or anyone else can do, just ask, and we will be more than happy to do whatever we can to help

Paul: I really wish you would quit with all the teases about food! Every time I read one, I want to make something to eat! I think I've gained a few lbs...
Thank you all for some wonderfull times and all the help so far, and I hope there will be many more years of it! Take care, all, and if yer gonna enjoy the holiday "spirits", PLEASE stay out from behind the wheel, yoke, handlebars, or whatever

Pat☺
