DJB,
Thanks for your kind wishes. As I'm writing to you I get distracted by the sight of heavy snow falling on buildings and trees outside... And I'm wondering... Would it be that you wished me snow and some good skiing ???... If so, I'm amazed at your magical powers... I thought you were an angel, now I know you have to be a seraph considering the extent of your abilities.
As for 'mon ami
