Dear Jock,
As this year winds down, I'm reminded of your accident back in the spring, and of how your assistant Jane logged in here at XMTS to update us on your progress. I'd like for the ladies and gentlemen here assembled to wish her a very merry Christmas and happy new year, and to thank her once again for keeping us all informed until you could resumes normal activities. I invite the rest of the Rabble to add to this thread of well-wishing to Jane, and I'd appreciate your forwarding it to her in the next few days.

I wish you and yours a very happy Christmas and new year, as well.
