It's beginning to look like home again, with Capt Tuttle, Nunesy, Father O, and the rest slowly returning to the Forum, like Munchkins emerged from hiding after someone dropped a house from Kansas into the Land of Oz. Still no Dorothy (SB), but we're optimistic that she too, one day, may figure out the sign-in procedure. I find that if I stand on my left foot and type with little fingers extended it works nearly every other time - and that ain't bad lately.

I had planned to leave for Europe again in the spring since I have quite a little work to do at Oxford (at the Bodleian, to be specific); but it appears I'm off to Africa instead - the good news - Rwanda - the bad news. One of those trips that goes with the territory of my profession, as it happens. I'll let you know how it goes. When asked if I would go I answered of course! without hesitation, so off we'll go in mid-May.

Knowing how SB and I have missed each other by moments in the past - it's happened twice, for those just tuning in - I hope we may actually bump into each other in Johannesburg or maybe Beirut. Better still, Morocco!

Bon voyage -

Hey Intldoc. I'm here too... just not posting much as there's not much action going on (and because it's a pain in the you-know-where to actually log on). Have fun in Africa.

I could see Sam having fun in Morocco. How cool would it be to meet her while in a foreign country???

At least I'm starting to see Samantha on some new Champion Windows commercials. I hadn't even seen her on those for quite a while. Maybe it's a sign that the Passport tp China is about to air. Well, take care all. Hope to be reading your posts this year.(now that this forum is fixed) Ciao !
