Off to Thailand

Tomorrow I'll be leaving for ten days in Thailand, so I won't be around like last year to have some Merry Christmas conversations on the phone, nor to check my email much while I'm gone. And I'm sorry American friends and family, but I didn't get my holiday cards sent out yet, but don't lose heart! I will send them when I get back, just in time to ring in the new year instead of celebrating it drawing near. So Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year. I'll talk to you all (and see you too) next year.
