This has been a very difficult year without you Ned. It has been a difficult year, period.
We will carry your loving spirit with us and welcome in the new year with hope and energy.
Also, to paraphrase something that your buddy Vince wrote to me. He said that he misses you a lot right now as you always embraced the holidays. Also he said that he always thought as your belly was growing that you would make a good Santa Claus :)
Hope some of you out there are coming to the party on Dec 27th!
Also, buy an Uhuru Pie from me. Order by Tues at 2pm for Xmas and by 2pm on 12/20 for New Year's and I'll figure out how you can get it. (Unless you are in Kentucky!)
