Indeed a happy New Year from both Ricky Whittle (via) and from all of us (meaning you know, me) here at MNPP -- may your 2024 be as bulging with good tidings as Ricky's shorts are, well, you know. Anyway it's been ten days or so off and I need to reoreint myself to the whole "typing words" thing -- as opposed to the "sleep in and then not type words" thing -- so give us some patience today! We're going, but we're doing it slowly.
