The news basket is very empty. The only news is bad news. Heard that James Vanacek passed away in June. I am now posted in Egypt on a project funded by the United States Agency for International Development. The mailing address in Sonoma is still valid, however.
Mail arrives there, whereas mail delivery here in Cairo is spotty at best.
Being here has taught me more of the wonders of the computer and cyberspace, as I was able to listen to the game live.
