I'm writing in to wish y'all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2019. This is going to be a very somber Christmas, as it'll be my first one without Mom. I've started to cry already, but my Dad and the rest of our family will be together to celebrate and pay homage to our Mom. Six months since her death, Mom is so greatly missed by all of us. I do want to remind those who are going to Further Confusion in San Jose, CA on Thursday, January 17th - I will be flying in on Wednesday evening to stay with a local friend. I will be staying at San Jose Marriott for 4 nights (Thurs to Mon) with three other furries. More details to come. I will be cohosting my first Greymuzzle panel with Mel White, an Associate Professor from Richland College in Texas most likely on Friday. More details to come here. Keep in touch if attending FC as things can change quickly. Merry Christmas Fluffbutts. JG 'Bear'
