CBB back next week

The timing of the worst ice storm in decades was especially inconvenient.  We lost our electricity for eight days, which makes one better appreciate the simple things in life.  I was hoping to write this week, but there simply wasn’t time to get everything done.  Back next week.  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.  doug
