Posting here just in case he does show up and give us holiday greetings. I have never shared a thread with the Perfect Master before. I think it ups our chances (and is a nice thing to do anyway) if we wish him seasonā€™s greetings first. Who wouldnā€™t respond to holiday cheer from his loyal followers? Soā€¦ Happy Holidays, Cecil! šŸ™‚ ---
