It's hard to belive that Christmas is just around the corner but it is officially Christmas season in my mind, haha.

Yes, Brian England, it is officially Christmas season.  Before we know it, we'll be wishing everyone a Happy New Year. 😂

Thank you for your weekly post as always! Is it true you have been doing this for more than seven years? Yikes!

Yes, Kat Palmiotti. It's actually been a little longer than that because I've missed a few weeks when I was traveling with no WiFi.  I think Kathy has been doing her weekly Sunday post loner than that.

That was an excellent post, Nina Hollander, Broker 
It inspired me to start on a Trickle Down Economics post. It won't be coming out right away, though because I have something else coming out tomorrow.

Thank you very much, Carol, for your recommendations. 

It feels like winter has arrived in Maryland and it is a bit too cold for golfing. 34 degrees at noon.

That's definitely too cold for golfing, Roy Kelley. I hope you and Dolores are staying warm and cozy with a good book to read.

Caro another slow week for new members, hopefully it will pick up next week now that Thanksgiving is over.

Hi George Souto 
I think new sign-ups are relative to how slow business is. We'll keep trying to get those who do sign up to engage. So far not much luck.
