Acceptable is likely to be as good as it gets.
An Acceptable 2009 to all
FELIZ ANO NUEVO (sorry about the spelling mistake, english keyboard). It is now 2009 in Spain.
¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Pride for Red Dolores.
And George, a belated welcome! Your brilliance and bristle, in baffling combination, suit you well for babble!
The measured, reasonable voice of Saga will bring some of 2009s major advances in knowledge hereabouts.
Happy New Year to everyone! All the best for 2009!
Great to see you again, LJ!
新年快乐!
谢谢! 你说中文吗? 我想你是很好。
No, LJ, I wish I did, although I have been listening to Pimsleur lessons for a long time (at a very slow pace) and at least trying to learn some pronunciation. I have a child, however, who is studying the language and appears to be doing very well at it (beams with parental pride).
Hello again, LJ. The book, The Man Who Loved China, was a hit with my Mississauga friends.
I went out on a five-day canoe trip in late September. No sign of bears - just a noisy great horned owl and a lonely moose waking us in the small morning hours. And lots of loons.
