It's so nice to be missed!

I did take a short vacation to visit my sister and her family in Germany.
I may have been near Rudi as my sister lives near the Austrian
and Swiss borders! A great trip which went by too quickly.

We have also started our 2000 budgeting process. Big fun, as
you can imagine. I will be caught up in that for a couple of
months, but will try to visit FT when I can. Not my favorite time of
the year, let me tell you!
