Punki: You are way too kind with your words! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redface.gif If we are only are half as happy, energetic, vivacious, and accomplished as you and Joe are, we'd be content! Can't wait to see you at our next gathering (a perfect place to share that bottle of St. Michelle).

BTW, Danielle has started her search for a new job. I tried but was unable to persuade Danielle to try the Marines. (Besides, there are no Sephora near the bases.

Many thanks to generous Secret Santa Burkey, who surprised this doctoral student with a lovely mini-writer's desk, complete with fountain pen and ink. Hopefully, a little inspiration was tucked in there somewhere too! I've been on holiday and away from the list, so my delay in responding is in no way a reflection of any lack of appreciation--the gift was absolutely wonderful!
