To Birthday Fairy Wally and his diligent Deputy Jimmy and all the others who sent birthday wishes. Thank you so much. I really did appreciate them ... though I fear that, having retreated so deeply into lurkdom of late, I don't really deserve them. I did have a great day though and it was nice to receive all those wishes from all over.
Considering all the troubles his country is experiencing at the moment, that Wally can still find the time to remember the birthday of a lurking Jmdler who most people on the list wouldnt know from Adam, is clear comment on his generous nature. Thanks heaps Wally, I sincerely hope things improve for you and Argentina over Christmas & New Year. And, your birthday is imminent too I hope it brings you some peace and relaxation. And, Deputy Jimmy, well what can I say to my ever generous, always smiling friend from Fort Myers? I enjoy our private on-going email conversation immensely, though I do tend to drag the chain a bit in replying (hope you got the last one sent recently). Thanks heaps. I hope your Christmas is a really good one and Santas generosity shines upon you. Watch out for those 'gators though!! :-) Indeed, while Im out of my lurkdom cave, I will take this opportunity to wish all on the Jmdl a happy Christmas and a New Year full of musical (and other) wonders. I might lurk and get behind in my reading but I just love being here. Cheers from the sunny (and getting hotter) land down under, John (in Sydney). PS. My best wishes, too, to Raffaele who shares my birthday. I hope you also had a good one! NP Neil Murray, "Cooling Winds".
