OK Shirley, I spent yesterday morning (accompanied by the fabulous Troy McClure SF) gathering some postcards and brochures from lovely Santa Rosa, CA. 😉 Looking at all of the visitor info actually inspired me to check out more attractions and fun things to do in my own city. Yay! A package will be in the mail tomorrow. ---

Email about to be sent ! Hudson Valley of New Yawk checking in. Heck, I was just IN Michigan. Sheeesh. Took 23 up from Toledo, through Ann Arbor, cut across 59 towards Flint, wound up on a moebus strip also called The Dixie Highway ( nothing Dixie about this. Trust me. It was as Yankee as we come. ). Spent a few fruitful days in Clarkston. Then meandered along back to 23, Toledo, home. Lovely state. Was that you, dressed in nothing but bright blue body glitter and tapioca pudding, waving a huge flare from the overpass? At least it looked like you were wearing sensible shoes. How’d you get the pudding off them? Damn. I shoulda waved back. Sorry !! 😃 Cartooniverse ---

Email sent. I’m in Frankfurt, Germany currently. How many kids are in the class? I was thinking maybe I could send a small denomination euro coin for each, depending on the number of kids and resultant weight / shipping cost. ---
