Ohhhhh this looks like fun… I dunno if I really have anything though since I cut loose a bunch of stuff when I moved (or at least left most of it with my Mom in another city) I’ll think on it and if I decide I’ll send an email away. ---

thinksnow, I sent an email and I hope it got through. But when you posted about going to bed someone who posted after me had been added to your list(the 31 name total list) and my name wasn’t on it yet. When you next check your email could you see if BAKER is on there? If not let me know and I will try another email. Thanks, this sounds like fun. ---

Can Australians play? Air mail takes 10 days, but can be pricey. Sea mail is more reasonably priced, but takes up to three months… Judgement, please?
