Hey Bob: I've just read your latest bit of (non?)fiction from "The World's Only Reliable Newspaper" (May 1st edition). WW3 IS COMING! with quotes from Undersecretary of Global Catastophes Bernard Sensenmann and Major General Earnest T. Cornpone. Even the president was quoted to "bring it on."

You are the best.

Any idea on when will this end? And what does your family think?

Hang in there. Eric

Hey, Bob:

Can you drop me a note at above address with a snail mail. I have a very modest check for you for that old TCJ interview we talked about last Fall, and all of my e-mail contact lists were nuked in early January on a day I still refuse to believe happened.

Best,

Tom

I’m coming up for six years off the leash and still find myself pining for office dynamics. Some days it just gets lonely being alone. But would I trade the freedom I have for an office job? Not today. Ask me again tomorrow, and my answer might be different…
