Folks-  
I shall be on a much-needed vacation from 1 September to about 22 September. I will be in the United States and aside from a trip to Hersey, PA, have no real plans. I hope that this period of roller-coasters, reflection and spiritual renewal will allow my future posts to be better than they have been recently.

While I am gone, please feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

When are you going to Hersheypark? I’m sure we can arrange a Dopefest to meet you and say “Hi!”

Hershey! I remember back in the '60s when we used to take school trips there, back when they still let you tour the production line and see old ladies drop their Band-Aids and wedding rings into the chocolate vats . . .
