First of all, Happy Holidays to each and every one of you. (At last count, I think this blog had 7 faithful readers!)

Second of all, The Holidays are one of the most exciting times of the year, especially for those of us who proudly wear the title of grandparent. You can see the goodness of the world and the blessings we have by looking into the eyes of your grandchildren. Don't miss it! Makes me wonder why we didn't have them first!

Third, The future of our world will largely be shaped by young people just like our guys right here. We have a lot to be thankful for - our Wabash continues to do an outstanding job of preparing these guys to play leaderships roles - they make the world better each day. I want a strong Wabash for my grandsons and I know you do as well. Please, as you think about the gifts you make this Season that truly make a difference, put Wabash at or near the top. Your gift, regardless of the amount, will make a difference. Click here to make Wabash stronger. Be gutsy and also ask a pledge brother/fellow independent man to join you.

Finally, the Grunge Report will be temporarily suspended from now until late in January. The Grunge will be in for some unscheduled medical maintenance - you flyers know what I mean. Right now we're looking at a scheduled return takeoff for 0700L (0200Z), 22 January 2007, if not before. All prayers gratefully accepted!

Happy Holidays!
