"Good luck with your Jenny-monster," says the Mandelbear, walking over
to the Brumby.  "Our Emmy-monster (and yes, we've been calling her
that for most of her life) is nearly 9 months old and still not
sleeping through the night.  It's a good thing they're so cute, isn't
it?

He finishes his drink and toasts, "To the Season -- enjoy, all!"

Didi 'fish-tails' over to Kitten and Mary Merrytail and gives them each
a warm New Year's Eve *Hug*, then pipes up:  "Ha!  Shrinks don't know
everything!  They are only people after all!  Kitkat!  Try imagining

Eve Partyland!  In Paris!  Yay!  Max!  My glass is empty ... again!
I love champagne!  I hope you are all having fun!"

Didi undulates to the chalk-line, downs the mouthful or so of champagne
in the bottom of her glass and intones:

		   HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
		   1993 has got to be better than 1992!
		   I have spoken!


And, sends her glass into the fireplace where it shatters into a million
sparkling pieces.

"Kitten.  I have decided ... I am no Arielle!  Help me with this thing,

Feather suddenly remembers the Rainbow Crow's power...  R-Crow may not be
psychokinetic, but she IS one to take the iniative!  And it WAS the R-Crow
behind the forklift incident way back when...  so Feather decides to call
on her other half.

Concentrating on the Dalek, she focuses her mind upon the part of the robot
which is sticking out of the water.  Soon the more perceptive or psychic
patrons in the room start to see Feather shimmer and change just for a 
moment...  an image of a larger bird with rainbow feathers starts to formflike
like a aura around the small gray bird of an unknown specie.  The image
takes full form and strenghtens.  Feather concentrates harder...  then
<WHOOSH!!!!> the Dalek shoots straight out of the water!  "Yeep!"  cries
Feather.  Obviously the small bird didn't quite take into account the
full effect of pure Rainbow power.  

Feather carefully maneuvers the Dalek to the floor unharmed.  When the Dalek
is safe, the small bird lets out a big breath, shakes out her gray feathers
and the aura of the Rainbow Crow fades away.  Feather droops from the effort.

"Whew!  I am NOT going to do THAT too much!"

Ambling outside to join in the festivity, the Bulb realizes why he wears that 
jacket : It is cold in other places! Acclimatizing to the temperature, he then
looks around for a suitable target. And is found to be one by someone from the 
opposite direction. The shot is good enough to take the fedora right off, while depositing a minimum of snow on his head.

That was the job of the second one that hit him as he turned around to see his
first attacker.

"RIGHT!" Rummaging around in his pockets, he comes out with a device that has on
the side 'ACME SNOW PITCHER/QUANTUM ACCELERATOR' with a BIG switch below the 
stencil, in the 'snow pitcher' mode currently. He scoops a few handfuls of 
snow into the hopper, and turns the machine on. It begins putting after a start,

Abner listens to Jilara, who is, after all, at his table.  "Oh dear."

He looks around for Randolph.  Not spotting him, he just leaves a note on
the board, saying how sorry he is, and how he hopes Randolph finds another
job soon.

BTW, does anyone have a working email address for him?

Dreamweaver ponders this for a moment, listening to some of the other
patrons' opinions and feelings, and speaks up,

	"I can remember asking myself whether my prescence would make any
difference, but I don't remember my answer. Nowadays, I'd definitely have
to say 'yes'. There are too many people I've been able to help, simply by
being there to listen to them, and to stop them from doing things they
might regret later."

Walking over to kitten, and giving her a hug, "I'd agree with some of the
others here at Callahans about it being different without you. Not many
others add as much sheer cheerfulness to this otherwise very grim world."
	"I'm also glad that we've got _you_ instead of your ghost."

	"To kitten, and to _all_ of us for making a difference."
