FROM RJ CURRIE TO ALL DEKE VISITORS

MAY YOUR 2019 BE FILLED WITH LAUGHTER

SPORTS DEKE NOTE:
I will be taking a few days off from "sport jester" duties — unless a brilliant idea pops into my head. (Don't laugh: it could happen.) Meanwhile, one or more lovely ladies of cheer will be posted daily to keep you ... well ... cheerful.
