So, thanks.

Thanks to Diane Werts, for all the work in substantially updating one list and compiling all the rest.

Thanks to Rich Baniewicz, for making the extra web pages and columns come to computerized life.

Thanks to Eric Gould for the special holiday designs -- and for surviving a holiday meal of grisly bear. (No, I didn't misspell it. But I tasted it.)

And thanks, too, for all of you who visited the site during the holidays, surfed through Diane's holiday TV listings, and maybe even purchased a recommended DVD or book on one of our shopping lists.

My tree is still up, but the shopping list is down. One thing at a time. And for the next few weeks, my biggest One Thing is what I hope to be the conclusion of the Smothers Brothers book.

Finishing the book... When it comes to New Year's Resolutions, I have no other.

Except this: Never again, until I die, will I eat bear.
