Happy New Year to all 73 readers. This little newsletter is growing, slowly but surely.

Thanks this week go to Joel, Vincent, and Miranda, again.

At the fourth house he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, gently led him through the door (which she closed behind him), and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced.

When he had had enough they went downstairs, where she fixed him a big breakfast; eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry waffles, and freshly squeezed orange juice. When he was completely satisfied she poured him a cup of steaming hot cocoa. As she was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out from under the cup's bottom edge.

"All this is just too wonderful for words," Little Johnny said, "but what's the dollar for?"

"Well," she said, "last night, I asked my husband what to give you since it's Christmas time. He said, 'Screw him, give him a dollar.'"

The lady then said, "The breakfast was my idea."

Well, Roy the rooster costs a lot of money, but the farmer decides he'd be worth it. So, he buys Roy. The farmer takes Roy home and sets him down in the barnyard. He gave the rooster a pep talk, "Roy, I want you to pace yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me a lot of money. I'll need you to do a good job.. So, take your time and have some fun," the farmer said, with a chuckle.

Roy seemed to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen house, and Roy took off like a shot. - WHAM! - Roy nails every hen in the hen house -- three or four times-- and the farmer is really shocked.

After that the farmer hears a commotion in the duck pen. Sure enough, Roy is in there. Later, the farmer sees Roy after a flock of geese. Once again, - WHAM! - He gets all the geese. By sunset he sees Roy out in the fields chasing quail and pheasants. The farmer is distraught -- worried that his expensive rooster won't even last 24 hours.

Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next day, to find Roy dead as a doorknob -- stone cold in the middle of the yard. Buzzards are circling overhead. The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful and expensive animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh Roy, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself."

Roy opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and says, "Shhhh, they're getting closer...

Starting with this issue, subscribers to the newsletters will get something a little extra, not available on the main website. This week's bonus is a sneak preview of the new look.

I'm working on it daily, so depending on when you click, some links will be broken, and you are likely to see typos. You can keep those criticisms to yourself.

I would like, however, any comments, positive or negative on the general look and feel. I dropped in some sample text from the Scott Peterson article from a couple weeks ago. It's just sample stuff to compare text and images within the look.

Check it out, and email me before January 3rd... then it's too late.

A Sneak Preview for Subscribers Only

And don't forget to Visit me at SunFyre. This week other topics included revisiting my New Year's Resolutions from last year, my two cents on the Asian tsunami disaster, and a reporter-on-the-scene commentary on Christmas morning.

Best wishes for a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year.
