I come back to you now, at the turning of the year

I have been writing Christmas emails instead of Christmas cards. I've now missed my chance to email some people as they'll have gone away for Christmas. So, I thank all of you who've been there for me over the last year. One of you said that we'd look back on this as a formative experience, something we learned from. Among other things, I have learned again the value of friends.

Merry Christmas to all our readers.
