Re: HYB:Sub--test part twostance

Christian;

This is the holiday season. from now to the first of
the year everyone is crazy and many who see an e-mail
have not the time to respond. It is very disconcerting
I know. Hang in there January 1st is not that far off.
And after we all finish with disfunctional relatives
and other friends we love, many of us will find time
for discourses after January 1. Of course then many of
us will be trying to make up for all those things that
had to be done last year and weren't. Life is hard. I
think we should all admit it and just be thankful we
have it.
