Hi Lairites! starbase here checking in from Bangkok. Had a close call on a flight to the north today. After a seemingly trouble free take off we were up about 10 minutes and then just turned around and landed again in Bangkok.

Pretty weird, they said there was mechanical failure with the plane. It's one of these little carriers with some old planes. Me and a French guy joked that "at least we weren't dead", even though it was weird picking up all our luggage in the same airport we just departed (and trashing everyone's travel plans in the process!)

So I came back to Bangkok, the Internet cafe is pretty empty, so I thought I'd do a little posting. So if I never return at some point, just assume a plane crashed, a bomb went off, I was a victim of an accidental shooting (happened to an Australian girl not long ago), (fill in tragedy here).

Otherwise I'm not sure I'll do the picture update thing, even though it would be fun. But the cheapest digital camera I've seen is like $250.00. Hard to justify buying it just for some conversation starters! So maybe no pictures. Then again, perhaps I could scan some from one of those little $5 disposables, hmmmmmm.

Love all the crackling wit going on here in the Lair. Loads of talented poets sharing excellent pieces. And I also like the anthology idea. Bentfeather, let me know what kind of clerical work you could use for that effort (like reading over old threads) that might be right up my alley in my life here of scholarly pursuits!

Well, check in again later (if I'm not dead, that is!!!!!).

cheers,

starbase
