Hi gregor: Certainly to call what we have here as anything less than an abundance would be terribly wrong. I have been doing well. Had a wonderful holiday with my family. Thanksgiving at home with just my wife and son. Weather was beautiful so I took my son for a bike ride on a local trail (converted from a railway). I have a little tandem attachment that connects to my bike which allows him to pedal along. We did a little bit of that and some goofing off next to the river. I last track of time and we got home a little late for thanksgiving dinner -- my wife got worried and went looking for us, but she passed us on the road and didn't have to go far before turning around. I don't really know what the market holds. I think there may be a few rallies left. I was kind of expecting more weakness around late Decemeber early Jan until earnings are better known. I was telling another poster how I visited with my brother-in-law over the weekend and he was hot to buy stocks that had already risen considerably and that for me this was a sign of the top. <g> I would like to share one blessing -- not my own directly, but one nonetheless. As I told you we have been involved in starting up a new congregation locally. I wasn't the one with the vision for it but do want to help. One of the preachers from the congregation we were with formerly and another fellow I know had the idea (not from themselves, I'm sure), but the preacher who left a thriving congregation sought to begin the work without any kind of support. He was hoping to find "secular" work to support his family until such a time as the church was large enough to support a full-time minister. To start he took a part time temporary job, the church provided some support, his former congregation provided some. Well, laset week he let us know that he had accepted a full-time position where he has been working. I admire this man's faithfulness. He gave notice at the previous church and began this work not really knowing where his support was going to come from long term. Took on a totally new job, trusting the Lord. God has blessed him and us as a result. Praise God who blesses all those who openly express faith in His provision. (Perhaps I shouldn't say that I'm eyeing the oil service sector.) Take care gregor -- the Ask and you Shall Receive thread is taking up the slack, I think. Barry
