Otis Earl Connor

This is Otis, our new family member. We got him yesterday from the Humane Society, and he is one friendly, loving animal. He's eight months old, and his previous family, who had him for two months, moved, and returned him to the Human Society from whence he came to them. We're still getting to know each other, and we want him to know that this will be a secure and permanent home, as his life so far has been a bit erratic.

Anyway, we hope you all get to meet him in the future. I know he'll love our family of friends.

THE POGUES

Thank you Jesse, again, for turning me on to this wonderful piece. Happy New Year EVERYONE. AND Vive the Irish Republic!

EVA

It was so good to see Eva when she was in town before Christmas. We talked and dined. Eva looks great, feels great, and, of course, happy to be back in Hungary. If things go well, and I stop getting so old so fast, maybe next Christmas we'll be in Budapest for a real old fashioned holiday.

Holiday Spirit

I want to thank all my friends who helped me celebrate the season on December 13. We had our annual "Winter Party," and a good time was had by all (if not all, most).
