Around Christmas time people are allowed to get a little mushy. Hey, it worked for Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reid!

So we say it every year and we mean it every year.

Thanks for being with us. Thanks for the e-mails. Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Without people asking questions and making suggestions, we’d be out of ideas, out of steam and rather quickly, out of business.

The best columns we’ve had this year were all written by other people. Either based on the suggestions/comments we got from active and retired feds, from a tip from contractors or from folks in uniform.

The very best came from some of our regular guest columnists: John Elliott, Allan Roth, Ed Zurndorfer, Tammy Flanagan, Eileen Brostrom, David Snell, Arthur Stein, Dennis Gurtz, Walt Francis, Rebecca Schreiber, Paul Yurachek, and frequent contributor Stan The Man.

Also we got lucky this year because super editor Suzanne Kubota kept coming back, even though we flog her with regularity. We know you like her “Nearly Useless Factoid” feature because we hear from so many people.

Have a happy holiday. Buckle up and have fun.

Mike & Friends
