It's been a busy year here at Chez O'Neill.
As you know, last year Daniel came back from the dead again (!). Some primitive tribesmen found him naked in a field. He had a little amnesia problem, but after a nice nap, he was right as rain. So far he's managed to stay alive for 18 months straight (a new record!) and got right back to work after he and that new guy took a little field trip to wipe out Nuby, which was not quite as successful as we hoped. Damn, I should have listened to Daniel and done my laundry.
I ended up spending my summer vacation frozen solid due to another Asgard info dump. Yadda, yadda, yadda, I'm all right again. (Note to self: next time DON"T stick head into alien machine.)
Over the last year Teal'c got hooked on The Food Channel. Now he's cranking out cakes and doughnuts like nobody's business. The fruitcakes should be arriving by mail soon; keep in mind he's not only very sensitive, he's a trained killer with access to high-powered weapons.
Sam Carter finally got some nookie. No, the guy hasn't croaked yet, so I'm out 12 bucks. On a related note, the dead pool still has a few slots open. Apparently, there will be wedding bells in her future (if the Carter Curse doesn't kick in first).
Harry Maybourne is still AWOL. I don't know whether that's good or bad. Wherever you are Harry, good luck.
General George Hammond finally retired, leaving the command to yours truly. Those are some mighty big shoes to fill although I must say I appreciate having more time for my pottery. Expect to receive your handmade whachamacallits in the mail by December 23rd. Remember, it's the thought that counts.
On a sad note, we lost Janet Frazier earlier this year. She will be sorely missed by all. Damn those Jaffa!
Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Cool Yule, etc.
God bless us every one. Even you Harry.
