May all your tools remain sharp!
May all your project go smoothly!
May you learn a new trick of the trade every day!
May you have more free time to paddle than you need!
May you have the health and ambition to use it wisely!
May you pass on your skills and appreciation for the art to someone younger than you.
May they appreciate your contributions and take as much joy in it as you do.
Thank you for all that I have learned from you in 2008!
