I am back, my people! Thanks so much Dean for stepping up and doing a bang up job. We had a great time. I did end up catching a pretty bad cold, which was not Covid and not fun, but we had the best Christmas we have had in a long time. I will wait a bit to see if Dean posts his answers before I post a new set.
