Merry Christmas
I won't be online tomorrow or the next day, and I always like to send everyone on here a holiday greeting.
First, I'd like to mention that I unexpectedly lost my Mom nearly two weeks ago due to a rare infection and we were extremely close. I had the honor of being with her as her heart beat for the last time and would not have wanted to be anywhere else. Her wisdom, kindness, and generosity have left me with a great deal of strength to pull from despite the difficulty of it all. She was a beautiful, wonderful person and it will take me the rest of my life to wrap my head around what a gift it was to have a mother like her. You have to see these situations as an opportunity.
I don't want this to be a sad post, but rather to show my gratitude. A lot of people on here have stepped up in the last year and some of you have become great contributors. More importantly, some of you are very sincere in the way you research and share information and that has given the board a major boost. I'm thinking of gohnjotti, chin_gigante, eboli, and some others. Not trying to leave anyone out, but these are newer fellows who come to mind. Of course there are many of you who have been at it for years, too, and are the backbone of this strange, fascinating corner of the world.
Merry Christmas, everyone. May there be many exciting Ganglands to come.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.
