It’s a while since I’ve posted and this is my 4th attempt this eve (damn redirect ads; only get them here...)

I wanted to wish everyone good health and happiness for 2018. I’ll read back and catch up a little.

I hope everyone had a great xmas too. This was our first in the USand I did feel homesick. Didn’t rate the local Xmas tree farms, couldn’t find a Santa’s grotto, things felt strange. But... lights in a local park we’re really cool, we were invited to several neighborhood parties and it’s fun to find new traditions. The kids had a blast which is the main thing.

New year’s resolutions are daft really and there must be countless threads on them. Still, anyone doing anything unusual?

I think my new year resolution must be to look forwards and not back. Also, not to post online when boozing. So I’d better sign off. HNY.

I also had a very big problem with redirects then they just stopped a few weeks ago. This Tennessee cold spell is very discouraging but it can go from 20 one day to 60 the next. It's already got us planning a trip to Florida.

Glad to hear things are working out well with the family's move to TN. Winter and the holidays in particular are the worst times for my wife and I. We have no family close by and both of us hate cold weather especially the wife who is from Florida. It will be in the sixties here later this week which will be a welcome change.
