I am going to be out until late Saturday, so I just wanted to pass on all the greatest holiday wishes to everyone here at MCC.

This last year has been an interesting one in the Scout6 household, with finding out last December I would be losing my job and my options were to transfer back to Fresno or be unemployed. We moved to Fresno last year on New Year's Eve, and fell asleep at 11 before the new year could even be rung in.

While the adjustment was a strange one, I must admit I have enjoyed Fresno more than I thought I would. I actually owe part of the ease of settling in to all of you here at MCC. It has been a few years since I had lived in Fresno and most of the people I knew from college had moved on save a few. The friendship and fellowship here on this site gave me an outlet to discuss feelings and situations, as well as just goof around with great people.

During the season the GDT's allowed me to feel I was sitting in a room full of friends and other Giants fans, making the adjustment of moving to a new place much easier.

Then with the Giants winning the WS, I had a great group of people to celebrate it with.

I have been blessed with good health, a happy family, the love of my life and a great group of supportive friends, both on and offline.

Thank you all, and happy holidays and have a terrific, happy and prosperous new year!
