Having recently checked the "most read stories" feature of my weblog, I found that 35 people have read the "Paul Is Dead" story, and a smaller but still signifigant amount of others have read others, the most popular of which seems to be "Paula Zahn Is A Liar." I had no idea when I started this weblog that it would actually be read by people and others would go so far as to place their comments regarding the things I have to say. Truly this has come as a shock.

To all of you I give thanks. I appreciate your interest in the sometime arcane ramblings that I partake in from time to time. I find it encouraging that some of this stuff actually moves some people enough to give me their thoughts on whatever matter.

Saturday, January 4th, I am leaving to New Orleans to board the Carnival Conquest; a brand new cruise ship that is the largest Carnival has every created. I will be spending the following 9 days in the Caribbean. I am literally in tears with anticipation. Wish me luck and the best to all of you!
