wishing Thee, and Thine, a joyous holiday !

In whatever way you wholly observe, or, Holy observe, this winter solstice liminal season ... may you, and your family, and friends, enjoy all the blessings of a calm heart, and clear mind. I am celebrating an apparently excellent recovery for cancer (skin, squamous cell carcinoma) surgery on the back of my neck. Looking forward to a new right-eye (cataracts/lens replacement) on January 10th., if the body says "all systems go." The only thing that haunts me is that the cost of the treatment is exactly the same as the current negotiating price for a magnificent rock-crystal encased in gilded bronze figure of Maha Kali in (one of) the classic styles (Buddhamarga, Sivamarga: a fusion of Tantric/Vajrayana Buddhist, and Tantric/Sivaite Hinduism, iconography) associated with the remarkable culture and craftsmanship of the Kathmandu Valley Newari artists. Of course, I feel exquisite guilt at not being able to pull an oar in the strangely bobbing craft of our QA forums :) cheers, Bill

And a very merry "Keep a Tree Indoors" season to you and yours, my friend! Good luck with the eye op - you've waited long enough for it - I'll be thinking of you. :thumbsup:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Also to you and yours, Bill. Get yourself well, and don't worry too much about QA - its not likely to change a lot while you're away.

Thanks! Please allow me to reciprocate your season's greetings. I too have been warned that I am starting to develop cataracts in both eyes, but the need for surgery is still a year or so away. My wife already had the surgery in both eyes, and it made a world of difference for her.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Thank you and best wishes to you. Recently went through some (successful) cancer surgery. Had cataracts removed from both eyes, and lens installed. Amazing difference in my sight. One eye now does close and the other does distance. Alas, the dollarectomy is always a challenge. :| Lou An intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of the Lone Ranger.

All the best to you also. And I hope that after January 10th you will be able to see the world afresh.
