Hi everyone, I wish you all the most wonderful holiday possible. Your company over the past year has been nothing short of remarkable! My soul has been twice blessed knowing you. Tank you Kate for the sweet Emil update. But I must disagree on one point, Emil had Joni's full attention not out of the generosity of her heart, but out of the fact that Emil is an absolutely engaging person. What a great son you have. As much as I wish everyone here a chance to meet Joni, I wish everyone here had a chance to hang out with Emil for awhile. He reminds me of the best best friend a kid could have. "Take that, and that, bad guys. "(Superhero lingo...) Perhaps New Years will be a more appropriate time to get into this, but my, we have had an amazing year with the JMDL. Bitter sweet with the loss of loved ones. Our hearts made torn and empty. But sweet all the same. From up above I'm sure Wally has been smiling down on us all, Cheering Jim's hectic romp through Saskatoon and serenading along w Paz and Muller at Ashara's magnificent bash. Will we ever forget those wild threads on Ms Joan during the BSN tour? And my eyes were never bigger than the day those big boxes came carrying a VG-8... and Parker!!! Thanks to Paz and Mark and Les and Howard and all who have made Joni's music more accessable to us all. And how neat it was to hear Kakki's review of the LACE exhibit! Then all the details of the mini-euro Jonifest. I have never been more at peace within myself as I have been the last year. I am in debt to the list for a good part of that. Good blessings upon you all. Merry Christmas and a very happy new year! Cheers!
