Marty has revamped our website and brought the content more or less up to date with information available to him. It is a wiki site which means anyone with the knowledge may add to or correct the content. To that end he has proposed a meeting which Andy will set up wherein those of us who care to may learn the method. As soon as Andy sets up a time and place we will publish the information.

The new web address published above.

Today we had entertainment Jessica introduced Jonathon Slate (yes another one) who provided us the lyrics of seasonal and Christmas music and proceeded to lead us in song accompanied by him with his guitar. We have not sung since Jack left except when he has visited us to keep us on key. However I must say Jonathan and his guitar did a good job of it.

The Sergeant at Arms full of the Christmas Spirit and in honor of the Season declined to fine anyone today

That's All Folks
