Let not the New Year come without acknowledging the grand gifts we received from Marian, our correspondent in Budapest. Most gratefully received and you can expect something within the next, oh, 12 months after my guilt overcomes my slackness. Check here if there is any doubt in your mind as to my ability to not get a package in the mail.
You will see a toy Trabant in cream (my favorite brand of paper-based Euro-auto), a bar of the darkest chocolate as well as a chocolate Krampusz. You know, I find myself fearful of eating the head of Krampusz, even in chocolate form. Maybe it is the Satanic Gene Simmons tongue or the chain to drag away the evil child. If you click on the image you will have a different image on your screen.

I wouldn't eat the Krampusz, it's mainly for decoration. I'm in Mexico, by the way. I went through Ottawa and posted your package from there. A bit of a cheat, but otherwise who knows when it would have arrived?
I may have to rekindle my blog for a short time to post pictures of my trip.

I saw the Ottawa post mark. That is a long way for a bit of sand.

I must say, not naysay, very nice of Marian to think of you - and the wahwah peddle sounded like a bit of divine inspiration - permitting for a little bit of "Let's Get in On" going on with the Garritys, no doubt: "wahwahwah,wahhh I've been really tryin, baby...."

That's "it" on - oh, you know what I mean.
