Happy wet, rainy Sunday all. No thread next week.

It’s a fairly uninspired lineup tonight with the a new highlight being Passport for Adams.

How are things?

[MUDDOG]

Wow! Never heard of Passport for Adams. It sounds impressive.

[Vision]

It does sound good, and I love the way Lou Frankel writes. I miss that kind of stuff.

[Vision]

Corwin also did We Hold These Truths which is freakin’ awesome.

[MUDDOG]

I love the way Lou Frankel writes. I miss that kind of stuff.

When print media was great!

Hi, Vision! You gone next week?

[Vision]

When the country was normal, was filled with free thinking individuals with character who loved America and were grateful for the bounty and freedoms she provided.

[Vision]

Hi Gina, I’m leaving Friday night for Iceland for a few days.

[WXRGina]

Wow! That’s quite a trip, I would imagine. Be safe!

[Vision]

It's a business/pleasure trip, have no idea what to expect.

[WXRGina]

Maybe ice? :-D

[Vision]

I don't know. Iceland was named to keep people away from it while Greenland (mostly ice) was named to distract from Iceland, I'm told. The whole thing seems strange. The sun never sets this time of year, few or no trees, a country of 350k people.

[WXRGina]

That’s interesting!
I would bet the hotels have blackout shades, so you should be able to sleep okay.

[Vision]

Passport for Adams is fascinating. It takes you right into the cultural fights of that time of anti semitism and Israel.

[Vision]

I expect so.

[WXRGina]

Come home safely, Vision.

Iceland sounds great!
What kind of work takes you there?
