And my Publisher yelling at me today for something that was his fault (which he doesn’t recoginize) is only making this all the sweeter. ---

I thought at first that you would be moving closer to me, but a map check puts it just about the same amout of distance as at present. Still, I hold out hope that I can make it to one of your famous DopeFests. ---

Yeah, let’s not get all crazy here or nothing. I’ll miss all of you guys, too. Sometime soon I’ll get up the nerve to post why I can’t live here anymore. Other than the constant romantic rejection from Ginger, of course. ---

OH PLEASE You’d actually have to make an advance to be rejected, and you’re a married man. You do play the ‘suffering in love from afar’ role pretty well. ---

It’s because I’m ‘complex’. Now where’s my black pants, black v-neck shirt, black cloak and black beret? I need to go be mysterious and such. ---

Welcome to the home of a gazetteer gone wild. I just saw the town name _Genoa_ this week, and immediately thought–"these idiots probably call it something like \*\* Ja-NO-ah\*\*. I moved from NC/VA in 1971 to the Buckeye state. It took me 20+ years to learn where _BAHL-a-ver_ is. Just search the map for the word _Bolivar_. I think Ohio dopefests just rocketed to the moon. Between **thinksnow** and **Jonathan** , this is gonna be a rockin’ state. Side notes: State fish is the beer-battered Lake Erie Perch. ---

Akron, eh? Reminds me of one of my favorite Doonesbury lines of all time… “Hey, Denver! Ever thought of changing your name to Akron and moving to Ohio?” ---
