Oy vey, I'm behind on reading my vanagon mail - only just saw Larry's post
today.  No wonder I've been getting out-of-the-blue emails about my website!

Well, so much for any fiction of anonymity around here!  Though I suppose if
I wanted anything like anonymity I wouldn't have that website, I'd just be
writing in a private little journal.  But now I'm embarassed!

Ah well, so be it. I do hope to meet some of you at Everybus.  I'd
considered dropping my kayak off at a friend's place in Chapel Hill for the
weekend, but then you wouldn't know which van was mine!  Feel free to stop
by and visit.  I'm getting there pretty early tomorrow - I'm hoping to claim
an electric hookup so I can use my computer and update the site.

Oh, and - all modesty totally cast to the winds - yes, I do have aspirations
to publish some of the stuff on my site, either as a book or a weekly column
somewhere.  If anyone out there has any idea on how to go about that, please
email me off-line!

Joy
