We're back in Texas and we wish everyone Happy New Year.

I'm still writing from a borrowed computer. I took my new computer on the trip with us, had a tech make a complete backup of the hard drive, and spent several hours on the phone with Dell. New parts should arrive today. With luck, I'll be able to handle the fix and restore. As soon as that happens, I'll have all of my information back and the CHN will be back up to speed.

To start the year with good news, I spoke to Alice Reynolds. She wants all of her friends to know that she's recovering and doing well.
