Last Entry For Three Weeks.
Well, your editor is off on his adventure testing of clothing from Shirts of Bamboo on the wild rapids of Grand Canyon. No email or Internet for three weeks because I’m too cheap to rent a satellite terminal (that and the rest of the crew would throw me off the boat).
Wish me luck.

High Praise For Our Towelettes.
