Any questions?
I feel it's again time to give you the chance to ask me random questions. Is there something that I'm not answering, something you want to know? Remember that my parents read this...

Marcia,
Have you rolled down any foreign hills latly... especially while intoxicated?
(2) how do you write a book called "war and peace"? I mean, it's hard to be more vague than that. Without Amazon, you wouldn't even know that it was about a specific war. Back in the day, book titles used to be specific, like "A Short Treatise on the Pollen Seeking Behavior of the English Honey Bee, Or, How Flowers Propagate". War and Peace, you could get it home and find out it has nothing to do with a particular war YOU happened to be interested in. Then what?
(3) How come there is no PJ O'Rourke on your reading list?
/pbz PS: That video night in kathmandu sounds cool.
I've been amazingly sober this trip. Have not encountered any good beer. My hope is Europe fixes this.
And come to think of it, there's really no way that I would roll down a hill in most of the places I have been, even in an unsober state. It seems as if in The States, there was always a suitable park or lawn for this purpose. I haven't found any place that I would consider clean enough to get down on the ground to roll down the hill. Certainly not in China, where there was a high propensity to spit. Bali was a bit cleaner, yet I didn't really find parks. A beach, yes, but no hills. And Thailand... Again, most of the open spaces are in wats (temples), making the rolling thing a bad idea.
1) I have no idea. It's hard to get a real read from people. Some people are nice because they want your money. Some people seriously don't want to help, but I don't think that's personal. I'm ignored most of the time.
2) Was there a question in there?
3) I'll take a look for him next time I'm in need of literature...
The postcards are the one time that I make sure that I have a beer. Before I left, Buffy told me that I didn't actually have to write anything on any of the postcards, just spill a little beer on it, and she would know who it was from.
And my Uncle Ed wishes to remind everyone that my parents read this, so you can minimize the references to my drinking habits.

Three questions
(1) how does the world find you (seriously), and;
(2) how do you write a book called "war and peace"? I mean, it's hard to be more vague than that. Without Amazon, you wouldn't even know that it was about a specific war. Back in the day, book titles used to be specific, like "A Short Treatise on the Pollen Seeking Behavior of the English Honey Bee, Or, How Flowers Propagate".

Marcia,
"Amazingly sober" you say. How come then the post cards you send us tell us a different story?
Rick,
The postcards are the one time that I make sure that I have a beer. Before I left, Buffy told me that I didn't actually have to write anything on any of the postcards, just spill a little beer on it, and she would know who it was from.
