Happy Birthday, Steve. Have a great one!

Old Bisbee Roasters Indian Mysore Nuggets. I got a pound for Xmas.

Your cookies are evil, Birgir. They are constantly whispering to me to eat them. I had way too many yesterday. BTW, did I describe them correctly? I forgot to add that both cookies have wonderful pieces of chocolate in them.

I hope that you brewed an extra large batch, Matt.

Justin said "shitty memes".

It sings well, but behaves badly.

Or you must be.

I have no idea how old he really is. But in reading his profile at HF he comes off as being very young and not very mature.

Checked my mail today and found a notice to pick up a package at the Post Office. So off I go to get this, a package from Birgir. If you look in the lower left of the box, you can see why Birgir has money for so many toys. To save money, he's off-shoring the production of his bakery products to China. I open the package to find this: Caramels, cookies and some fruit cake. The baked goods are from Birgir's bakery. The cookies are basically coconut macaroons made into cookies. Very good and not too sweet. The fruit cake looks to be a lot more appetizing than the disaster we call fruit cake here in the US. Even better, underneath the coconut cookies are more cookies: These cookies taste like Anise cookies to me. There is a light touch of anise and, again, the cookies are not too sweet. I've already eaten way too many of both kinds of cookies. They are yummy! There are also 3 CDs of popular Icelandic music of the 70's. The forth CD is spanish jazz guitar music that Antonio sent me. I'm listening to the 73 hits now. It's very interesting and I am enjoying it a lot. The jazz guitar music is great too. Thank you very much for such a great gift, Birgir. I still owe you another CD and will get it to you soon. Also, thank you Antonio for the CD of nice jazz guitar. It is very enjoyable. Merry Christmas to you both!

Gee, I wonder how at 13 year old could afford all that stuff.

This. I hope that your mom is doing better, Vicki. Ah, the good ol' days.

Bon aniversaire et Joyeux Noël, Guillaume.

Happy Birthday, Ric. Have a great one!

Merry Christmas (even though it's still an hour away here) and Happy Holidays to all!

Thanks everybody. I had a nice, low-key day. I really love the HC community and all of you, so here's a toast to HeadCase and all the great people here. Cheers.

Be sure to leave them in shock and awe! Good luck.

Hang on. Where's the marmite?

At least one! I must not be getting enough arsenic or my skin would clear up.

Condolences to you and your family, Mike.

No problem either way. Give me a call if you have a break. Either way, have a great time.

Spending Xmas in Lompoc? If you'd like to get together to do some local wine and/or beer tasting, let me know. If you don't want to come to Santa Barbara, we could meet in Santa Ynez or Los Olivos?

I toasted with some Rittenhouse 25. Peace and comfort to you and your family, Mike. I also didn't realize that Harry Morgan died this year. I toasted him too. What a great and long career he had.

Sorry Mike. Wishing peace and calm to you and your family. Wayne, maybe you should post a reward for the return of your stuff. That would make it worth the effort to return the not very useful (to non-Santas) stuff.

I agree, but it's no worse than your "apologists" comment. I think that you need to get some of your facts straight. Kevin doesn't produce or sell amps or designs. I haven't counted, but I would bet that Kevin has put more designs in the public domain (i.e. free) that Alex has. This is not to denigrate Alex, it's just so you understand what Kevin is about and what he does.
