…and I'm in my kitchen with my 2 dogs, Earl and Ethel, hangin' out with me while I have a pot of veggie-beef soup (my sons asked for that for Christmas dinner) gurgling on the stove long enough for me to able to put it in the frij to finish cooking by dinner time tomorrow. I also proved my lack of discipline coz I'm having a cup of coffee, but doggone if it ain't wonderful. All's currently right within my world.
One thing I've always loved about the S&W Forum is the type of people it's always attracted. I go as far back as guys like Dick Burg and Quarter Cherokee and many others who had earned my respect and enjoyment from reading their posts. A place where sanity, honor, and logic actually MATTER. I don't even have to say how that's becoming scarcer and scarcer these days. But this place has always felt the same to me as if I was visiting an old friend's house. Both a rarity and a blessing. One can almost feel the warmth from the wood stove, smell the coffee, and see the rough-hewn walls.
Whatever it is in my character makeup is such that for whatever reason, logging onto this forum in the wee hours of Christmas morning, as I've done every year since I've joined, just completes my feeling of home on Christmas and for that, I'm eternally grateful.
So I just wanted to yell howdy, thank you, and Merry Christmas.
