Can't wait till Wednesday. I have been absolutely flat out lately with tight deadlines to meet and this year I am feeling it. Just completed and installed a 40 sq ft stained glass window in a local Catholic high school (donated by a family in memory of their young son, sadly killed in a car accident). It turned out very well but I must be getting old because climbing up and down ladders constantly for a couple of weeks really took it out of me this time. Two other windows of 9 sq ft each for the city's Catholic Cathedral are finished but installation has been delayed so I am pulling the plug early this year. Three months off will do very nicely thank you. My brother (14 months younger) and I are off to the tropic of Capricorn and other points in north Queensland for a month or so. He has a very nice RV so we'll grab the rods, crab pots, golf clubs, etc and be nomads living off the land for a while. I've told my brother he can set the pots while I beat off the crocodiles. Both wives alas,
will be staying at home guarding the respective forts while we are away. But I have to be back on the 5th of December for my 40th wedding anniversary (my oh my,where did all those years go?). And to top the year off my son has just informed me I am to become a grandfather for the very first time next June. Despite all its trials and tribulations, life sure can be grand. Of course I'll take the laptop so I can keep track of you blokes.
