First, to everyone, best wishes for the new year...
Second, have you ever noticed how serious alcoholics have a very clear view of the world and it's ills, irrefutable proof, as applicable, of the incompetence of leaders in academia, the church, or the government, MRIs of the delusional brains of the megalomaniacs in some position of authority, and the perfect solution to each problem at hand?
Here is how my last several memos have been worded:
Blah (current state of affairs), blah (options for a logical course of action), blah (recommendations for remediation), and furthermore, blah (endgame scenarios if you fail to act), blah (the meaning of "irrevocable"), and blah (financial ramifications, or risks in adjudication, of such failure to act).
Then I get to the crux of the matter: you people*, for all intensive purposes, behave like inflamed and oozy rectal tissue**, misshapen pustules on humanity, and ill-bred replications of parasitic invertebrates. Inexplicably, you consistently demonstrate your incapacity for basic cognitive processes in the most egregious manner. I'm not even sure if the meager cost of the propane necessary to incinerate you is worth the expense but I'll borrow the money if necessary.
From their viewpoint, and I'm always sensitive to the feelings and opinions of others, I must be an over-the-edge alcoholic. So, why should I not comport myself accordingly?
*This is a specific "you people" denoting only those who are obligated to pay me for services, and does not in any manner refer to any past or present observer, reader, moderator, participant, member, owner, or model, or their respective agents, successors, or assignees, of the SG community or this site.
**In the interest of civility and a concern for the use of insensitive or inflammatory rhetoric in a public forum, I have omitted several of the more forceful and colorful phrases which depict the utterly vile and repugnant nature of having to attend to such tissue on a day-to-day basis.

Forget all the bile in the post above. Tonight was beyond all expectations for happiness, kinship, and plain fun. A really happy time and a great dinner at a Buddhist restaurant with many of my friends. They wanted an group photo:
I'm very happy. The fireworks have started. Only an hour remains of 2005, and I'm optomistic for the new year.

Sorry for not answering any your comments lately. I've spent my holidays at home in the woods and stayed away from things like computers and the internet.
