Paul - rather... weird. Winters are usually rather cold in Poland, and we had about 8 Centigrade (plus!!!) today! Strange, especially considering the fact it was quite cold yesterday...
And Santa Claus didn't bring me an Alembic... ;-) I got a Melissa auf der Maur CD though, which is very nice :-)

Paul, Happy New Year gets real hard to pronounce about midnight.  It's good she's home for the holidays.  
 
Jarek, I tried to remember where everyone lives but I'm sure I missed a couple of places.  It's seems odd that it's already Christmas day at your home and still Christmas eve here.  I loved your disclaimer by the way.  I though Americans were the only ones to have to put up with that sort of stuff.

Jarek:
 
VERY funny.  I almost fell off my chair LOL - and I'm a lawyer!!!  It reminded me of a T-Shirt I once saw that stated a generic: The sports team from my geographical area can beat the sports team from your geographical area.
 
So as I understand it, it's tomorrow over there, and yesterday back here?  I feel like I'm talking to the future!  Boy, it's amazing what Alembic can do!
 
Bill, tgo
