This undoubtedly is a very different holiday than any of us have experienced in our liftime/s.
All those around us are struggling, managing and coping but the new year is ahead and with that there is hope.
Be safe....We wish all of you and your families the very best, looking forward to a better New Year.
Ben, Rebecca and Jade.

Ben and Family,
The same back to you!
Great to see the doll, it reminds me of a club-making series we created during the infancy of the internet learning curve. We used a doll model made of pieces of wood that we showed in a series of Power Point frames during the club making process. We named him Naked Dave and Naked Dave performed in about ten presentations before we got the rudimentary video stuff in about 2010. After that I think I only made two videos in the series. Thanks for the good memories, Honk

Yesterday we had a socially distanced / masked handoff of presents in my elder son's back yard. I scored a 1962 Carlton Franco-Suisse, reported elsewhere in C&V, from my wife's younger sister, who is thankful it found a good home.

Early tomorrow morning I am setting up a four-generation (spanning ages 3 to 95) Zoom session to watch the kiddies open their presents. With the 5-year-old attending in-person kindergarten and my younger son, his uncle, a hands-on health care provider, we have a couple of "disease vectors" in the extended family, so no big traditional family dinner this year.

Best wishes to all for the coming year. I value the many "virtual friends" I have met through BF C&V and 50+ -- fine group of folks!
