Happy New Year Joi, I hope 2005 will be better and peaceful. Cheers for all.

Interesting cultural difference. I guess mourning is something where you shouldn´t express joy to others while enveloped in a familys sadness. Makes sense to me, especially after losing my grandfather beginning of this year...
Happy New Year!
