Dear Isogeochemists,

Maybe its the weighing or the snapping off two Gas Bench needles in  
one day or over tightening a fitting or running DIC samples. Or maybe  
its that I stayed home rather than go to AGU and party. Or maybe I'm  
just ready for the holidays!  Even though the traffic is sometimes too  
much to handle, this is a great group of helpful people. Hope you all  
have a good holiday.

**Apologies to GV, Eurovector, Nu, etc. for the inclusion of a  
Finnigan product in the song. It came to me, then I couldn't get it  
out of my head.**
