With a new year come new things.

One of those new things is people.

Our beloved Jerry passed away last August. It came as a shock to all of us when we got back from vacation. When it came time to hire a replacement, we always found a good reason to push it off.

However, when we noticed that myrtlepoint.com had been purchased by crooks who hold websites for ransom, we knew we'd run out of options. After sifting through several qualified candidates, we settled on a more affordable applicant by the name of Bingo Reginald.

You'll no-doubt have noticed that our cyber address has changed. This is an unfortunate side effect of Jerry's passing, as the password to the dot-com was lost along with him. He always kept it on a post-it in his back pocket, but due to the nature of his passing, it was illegible by the time he was discovered.

Since we couldn't get into the old dot-com, we did the next best thing - we started a BETTER one! Good luck selling myrtlepoint.com back to us now, crooks!

New Year, New Ewe

I didn't have anything else to say, but I really like that joke, and I bet we have some sheep people in our audience who will too. :)

Have a nice afternoon,
