Thank you Bob, My warmest 2018 wishes to you and Pat! I'll give you an e-mail update soon ... when life is more or less back to normal after the Holiday Season.

Chm, Happy New Year! Six months don't seem all that long ... but I can't wait for them to be over. Work is no fun anymore. All the 'old' colleagues' (650 of them between 55 and 59, and thus younger than me!!) have been sent into early retirement on Dec 31st last. I'm the only 'dinosaur' left! And working in the centre of Brussels (since our recent office move) is even worse ... Public transport, you know, and the insecurity ... Brussels in no longer what it used to be 10 years ago!

Hi Gaynor, Happy 2018 to you and Tim and the rest of your (new enlarged) family! Thank you also for the nice e-card.

Hi Ken, Nice to read you! My best New Year's wishes to you and Walt, Tasha (she's lovely!) and 'notorious' Bertie. I felt for you when you lost Callie ... she was such a cutie. But you did the right thing, given the circumstances. Have a lovely 2018 and enjoy Tasha's antics and learning process. She's a very lucky dog, having you both and the incredible surroundings to explore.

Thank you for the encouraging words ... yet +/- 180 days to go ... and counting! :) Martine
