The Tripod Insider


As the year winds to an end, things are pretty slow here at Tripod. We're all still tired from the recent relaunch and the big holiday bash! Aside from eating leftover holiday cookies and candy canes, our techno whizzes have been prepping the site for the big Y2K rollover. We'll be ready though, so you can be sure that your site will be up and running smoothly come January 1!

Despite the freezing temperatures, there's STILL no snow here in the Berkshires. Guess we won't be having a white New Year's either! Fortunately, there's plenty going on this weekend in Billsville to keep folks busy and warm. A group of former Tripodians is venturing northward from NYC to partake in tamer New Year's festivities. Emma and Kara will be coming up to avoid the craziness of their now-native New York. I can't say that I blame them! Come New Year's Eve, I'll be 150 miles from NYC and I'm still nervous!

Here's hoping you celebrate the arrival of the new year with health and happiness — see you on the other side!
