Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year

Published on December 19, 2005 By dynamaso In Blogging

To all my JU friends and aquaintances, I would like to wish every one a very Merry Christmas and a happy, safe, prosperous New Year.

I have enjoyed the interactions this year, both the positives and negatives. The thing I enjoy most about JU is this open interaction between people who might not necessarily mix in 'real' life. So thanks one and all for the on-going education. I will continue to look forward to learning more thanks to you all.

Particularly, I would like to thank Shovel, Tex, Phoenixboi, Champas, Serenity, Toblerone, Moderateman, Dr Guy and BlueDev for making me laugh, making me think, passing on new knowledge and for keeping me coming back. You guys rock.

Merry Christmas, Maso!

Thanks for the mention.

We got your card (a few days ago, actually), and it's adorable! Thank you so much. The kids (and Adrian, too, haha) loved the koala bears. It was so nice to see a handwritten note inside as well. Things like that seem to swallow up the distance and make this a much smaller world.

Think of us poor yankees shivering in the ice and snow when you're basking in the sunshine on Christmas day....

Merry Christmas Maso! I just have one question. Is it hard to learn how to read upside down?

Merry Christmas to you, too Maso! Glad I could help make you to laugh! But I dunno about the helping to make you think part...

Tex,

Thanks for the mention

There was no way I couldn't mention you. I'm glad you got the card and pleased everyone liked it.

Kelly,

Thanks very much. I hope you have a wonderful holiday.

Dharma,

While I'm thinking of you and yours freezing, perhaps you could spare a thought for us not being able to get to our beach because of the stupid antics of violent jerks in the last few weeks. I hope you, Dave and the kids have a wonderful Christmas.

Elie, thanks so much. I'm not adverse to some manly hugging myself. Here is one for you ((((((elie))))))

Doc,

... We don't consider ourselves down under, you know. We just let you guys think that, but we really know we're on top. It is you guys who have learnt to read upside down, but you don't even know it.

Shovel, if it weren't for you, I would never have read 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'. It has become a constant source of inspiration for me. You don't know just how much you influence others here, do you?

Really? I have a new talent? damn! Thanks! I can read upside down! And all because I met some Australians on line! I do have a lot to be thankful for! And you guys are one of them!

Seriously, I learned to read upside down from reading the pages of my kids book while they were looking at them! Not hard really! But then I dont sleep on the ceiling either!

Doc, see, there you go. I'm pleased to be able to help you realise your hidden talents, even though some mighty consider it a batty habit (sorry about the terrible pun but I couldn't help myself).

Nicky, I wish you a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year too.

I really enjoy reading your stuff.

Thanks so much. Comments such as yours make it all worthwhile.

Serenity, Happy New Year to you too. I had a very relaxed and enjoyable New Year's eve. The following day was one of the hottest days on record for Sydney. I think the temperature peaked at 46 degrees celcius, which is about 115 degrees fareheit or, in other words, bloody hot. My wife and I closed our blinds, kept the place as dark as possible and stayed well out of the sun. Thankfully, yesterday was back to normal. Global warming, anyone?
