Thank you for the kind words on my poem, I can honestly say experience is the basis for the poems I write to a great degree. I've lived a life filled (in my earlier days), with LIFE!, I've seen, done, and lived so much others were satisfied just to read about. In a way, I'm sorry for them, for they too could have taken different paths and lived fuller lives. I guess thats why I find your present adventures so interesting, for they echo those of mine long ago. Take care and remember all of here at the Lair, wondering what your up to!!!!!!!!!

Crap! Here comes another typhoon! (scroll down to see radar) Typhoons flitter around here a lot this time of year. Sometimes you can see two of them out over the ocean on the radar.

Might put off my departure, due to hit Wednesday. Plus the business is having trouble wrapping up my tax certificate. Seems I overpaid, and may get back enough to cover my round trip ticket to Thailand! Well, I won't say no to that!

Final departure date: Unknown!
