There are no more big holidays looming over the horizon. Whew... Glad that's over!!  "cheesecake" PS: If I could be Emperor of the Universe for five minutes I'd outlaw all holidays in November, December and January and would declare that everybody should be nice to everyone all the time, no matter what season it is!
