its comforting to see that we all care about each other on CC. while on the subject of people not heard from, my wife & i may decide on a 2 week vacation this winter so you now know where i'll be.
Thank you for letting us know you'll be taking a break this winter. Sounds a bit paranoid, but I wouldn't share the word "vacation" when the time comes, just in case there's someone online who might have your address. That is so thoughtful for putting us at ease because you are also a faithful regular here.
