The months since the Cavern was closed to us have been very lonely, but the new year brings hope for adventures to come. If the possibilities of creating our own URU ages come to fruition, and we are to be together again in our bevin home, then we have a lot to do. However, many hands make light work. We not only have many hands but a lot of talent in this bevin. Let us take this opportunity to show explorers worldwide that we are still as dedicated and as generous as we were last year.

I realize that I have been very quiet on the forum of late. RL has a way of really taking over my RL My 23 year son has duplicated himself (no, I am not a grandmother). Instead he presented me for Christmas just what I always wanted -- another unemployed 23 year old who had been evicted from his apartment into the cold. So between the two waiflings and the books that my publisher has been after me to complete, I have been very busy. That said, I do check in from time to time, but the best way to reach me quickly is via email or PM.

Best wishes to all for the dawning year. Let's make it count.
