Just got back from Big Orange with the family Christmas tree. Balsam fir,

the house is starting to smell lovely. But how do I get this horrid sticky

stuff off my hands? Dressing tree is for wife & kids — I schlepped the

thing home & set it up. We practice strict division of labor here chez

Derb.

Patricia Busacker fund now at $1,093.77, wow! — and many, many thanks to all.
