    Merry Christmas and Adieu!

    Hi guys and gals,

    Due to some changes in life, I'm going to be gone from OptiBoard for a good while. So, I'm going to bid you all adieu (or however you spell that).

    I'm also going to take this opportunity to say "Merry Christmas!" Here's my best wishes for you and your families this holiday season!

    Pete, Merry Christmas to you also, You will be dearly missed; have always appreciated your comments, insight and wit! Whatever 'life changes' you're experiencing, you will be in my prayers. Anything I can do to be of service to you, let me know, sincerely, Al.

    Stick out tongue Now Mr. Pete.......

    ......you're not getting away from Jim and I that easy. We know where to find you. Seriously, having a keen understanding of the changes you're going through, know you are always in our thoughts and prayers. You are a special person and will be sorely missed on this board. Hurry back. You will find joy in the blessings of the Holidays I'm sure and I look forward to seeing the wonders the New Year will bring to you. Merry Christmas, all our best.

    It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.

    Aw, come on, for Pete's sake...

    Just as I am getting in the shwing, er swing of things after my hiatus, you take off...

    Good luck, take care, and don't do anything I wouldn't do (which leaves you available to do just about anything).

    PETE, I am thinking of converting to the democratic party and I'd like your opinion on this....

    sincerely

    Great Idea Night Train!

    Great Idea Night Train!

    Then I could host a thread on the comparison of your conversion with that of a certain Vermont senator.He couldn't keep silent then :D Also perhaps a thread on Bambi's mom and dad, and the realative wisdom of thinning the herd entitled "Are deer really starving to death in the woods or is it a hunter's myth? That would keep him busy for a while.:D
