Maybe you'll get it by next Christmas Billy
US Postal hasn't gotten mine there either apparently.

I'll own up to the Christmas Pud, the island post card and the Christmas card from Arran. Merry Christmas Billy!

Billy--the US post office assured me that you would get mine in time for Xmas---I hope you get it, sweetie! (sadly, i didn't send a cheesy card--though I wanted to.)

That is a really nice idea. It would be even better to do this as a sort of charity, I think. Have you guys seen the PostSecret blog?

Charity? We ain't got no stinkin charity. We drive people that want charity off the board onto the ice floes, to die a wretched death.

Billy does a lot of traveling, around China, to different supplier's plants. He quality checks the pieces they've subcontracted to these plants and OKs them for shipment. A lot of the time he has no internet access or it's closely monitored.
He be back.

Happy New Year, everybody! Thank your kind concerns!

The international connection was not good because of Taiwan earthquake and had a bad new year.

In X'MAS season I was on business trip. My roommate forgot to lock the door of our house when he went out to maeket on Dec. 26. Our home was stolen. I lost my watch, money, mp3 player, swiss knife.... very sad. And I got a cold for that and slept on bed two days.

I come back on biz again after 3 days at home. I did not have time to check your cards in my office. I think they should come. Maybe I will come back this week. I will keep you posted.

Hope everybody have a happy and lucky 2007!

Billy, I am so sorry to hear about what happened to your things.

Hope that things improve for you as the old year ends and the new one begins!

Happy Year of the Boar!
