     Dear Gord,

     Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, but I'm sure that
Evan will find that chapter as soon as he goes to an AA meeting.

     How graced I am in this Christmas season.  Three persons have
posted on the echoes I keep open, one in SIP_ACA, recently.  And an old
reader wrote to me at my e-mail address asking to be placed on my ACA
Mailing, a old member from Vancouver and Toronto.  All the efforts I put
in my role as moderator are being rewarded this week end.  Thank God for
that!  I can thank God, even if I am agnostic, right ?

     Since it is still Christmas, let me wish you a Merry Christmas and
my best wishes for the New Year.

     BC is a lot in my life these days.  I have a good friend on my
Internet Mailing List who was receiving her children from Vancouver this
weekend and she tells me a lot about them.  And I have been in contact
with an old friend from Vancouver island recently.  This world sure is
small.

     Take good care,

Jacques
