Hello James Nice to see you all cheery and chipper and back . I need not comment on my own condition as am communicating from my secret bunker somewhere in "Hollywood" Ah...... I yearn for stardom but needs settle for survival. Season being what is and storm projections being nearly terrifying I am avoiding sleeping under coconut trees. I know at least two yards containing trees so full of the darn things that I dare never sleep on those city streets.I do hope that all things being equal both myself and my pet whale will be welcome in Barbados regardless of whether we are a: EDIBLE or b: sensible on arrival, obviously it is still way too cold in Toronto and the darned whale might die before giving testimony to Cindy....This cannot be allowed to happen or the legacy might be lost.... Anyway someone's got to do this once in awhile....last time it was streets full of water....please advise..... Cod

Hi, Chris... Long time, buddy. I went to Bimshire in September '02 with my new Significant Other and I remembered our own trip together to Barbados and Antigua way back when. Seems like centuries ago!! I rented a car in Antigua and did the tour, so we passed many of those places again - no special flight this time, though!! The Barbados tour was more leisurely, but there were many of the same places - like St. John's Church with that Greek royalty chappie, etc. Great view out over the east coast, too, always as I remember it. The V. L. Oliver books are going slowly, but I did have to do a re-run of History to satisfy the accumulating demand. Caribbeana is now in many Universities and I only have a few sets left. I was fearful of your own health and situation, but I heard that you were struggling and doing what was necessary... it is good to see you on the List again. All the best this time around with your personal life, by the way - I seem to have found my own wonderful match myself, so I'm looking forward to a bright future. By the way, Toronto is between 29 and 31 degrees Celsius (84 - 87 degrees Fahrenheit) this weekend, so please accept my assurance that the icicles outside my igloo melted several days ago... damned huskies have disappeared, though, so I guess I'll just have to drag out the snowshoes and plod to the trading post 250 miles away for a new supply of seal blubber to keep the lamps going so I can see the computer monitor. Hey, write soon and tell me all the details - and if there is something I can do please do not hesitate to ask. All the best to that rasping Colonel John... -- At 12:29 AM 21/06/2003 -0400, you wrote: >Hello James >Nice to see you all cheery and chipper and back .
