Happy Holidays From TTAC!

Merry Christmas from soggy California. May your cars always start and your journeys reach their end.

Feliz Natal e Boas Festas pra todos! When I started contributing to this site, I did it as one of the B&B. It was good to see everybody talking about one of (if not the) my favorite subjects. When I was invited to write (not once, but twice!), I though it would be interesting 'cause I could get my two cents out there. Now I 'm finding that I don't care so much for my opinion anymore. When I write, my greatest expectation is wondering when Stingray will chime in, wondering if one of the bosses like Ed or Paul or Bertel will deem my piece worthy to spend their time responding, wondering what kind of spin Psar will pull this time, longing to see if Mikey will deem it worthy to share his inside view, the same for Robert.Walter as Mikey, but from a different perspective. I long to see what excellent and funny feedback (if any) I'll get from EducatorDan. What kind of kind words I'll inspire from Zackman. What words of wisdom I'll get from Steve Lang. Not to mention others I greatly appreciate such as Sajeev, Autobraz, Pgcooldad, TrailerTrash and so many others. I Know I'm doing lots of you an injustice by not naming you (let's not forget Mr. Whopee, marjanmm, jaje, Ingvar, jersey devil, BMWfan, srogers, dukeboy, oh! you are so many!), but all of you are in my heart this time of year and my prayers are with you. In other words, it's not what I write here, it's what you write back. Thank you all from a very hot (around 30°C, stuffy, partly rainy) Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Educator Dan: I'm just going to start a new thread by saying once again, congratulations!We (my wife and I) extend to you and (future) yours all our best, now that you had confirmed it. Now, when's the big day? Are all of us bloggers invited to the big wedding? Now, get off-line for awhile!

Merry Christmas a couple days late, TTACers. Also, that photo looks like fun.
