To: Wolf Junghanns (Berlin)
Happy Birthday today in California Wolf!! Hope you get a chance to listen 'live' to the show now that you are there, as opposed to the European 'archive' listening that we are forced to. Wishing you a good year from overseas!

Welcome back stateside. We hope you enjoyed New Years in Rome with the Manfredis, and were able to not see ALL the sites, again, in just one week. We always miss you more when you are farther away.

Thanks for the New Years send-off ~ I'm back in the frozen last frontier of Fairbanks, Alaska, where it is ONLY minus-30 today. What were you worried about?

To: Garrison Himself!
I wanted to thank him for a moment. I was at a Copenhagen restaurant, sitting alone at Christmas time, having lain my mother's tombstone at Holmen's Kirkegard on 12/22/08. I was reading a British newspaper and in it, Garrison mentioned his fond memories of Copenhagen at Christmas. I certainly didn't expect that! But it made me stop and appreciate that alone or no, I was in the palm of contented happiness and holiday cheer, right then, right at that moment and I thank our friend for snapping me out of a blue moment or two!

We've returned to our home in the Nevada desert from spending Christmas in the Kauai tropics in Hawaii. Still waiting to here from Garrison if there will be a PHC British Isles cruise next summer. Have you heard any news?
—David & Carol Peace
