 ML> The one time I thought of seeing them Anne was in a tough

 NB> Ah... so you connected elsewise... Facebook, maybe...?  Let me revise
 NB> slightly, then... next time you connect with him... ;)

Regular garden variety e-mail! This year I've been on Facebook
maybe once a fortnight on average.

 ML> Seemed to help. He's having in-laws! coming to visit in the
 ML> summer.
 NB> I hope that's a good thing...

He said something about having to stock up on spackle so
he could repair the holes made by him banging his head
against the wall, so I guess that means no.

 ML> An interesting character, though annoying at times
 ML> and drunk all the time. I'm referring to Kevin, though
 ML> Glen I guess answers to those things to a lesser degree.
 NB> I gathered as much... on both counts.. ;)  Glen I know a little from
 NB> posting back and forth... Kevin mostly from hearsay...  ;)

It now looks like a visit to down under may happen
in November or so, if my money holds out.

 NB> Indeed.  Good question...  I'm sure that some that were already
 NB> fearful have used it as another reason to not fly... or even travel...
 NB> but as to changed plans... who knows...

 ML> One of my more paranoid thoughts was that this is a
 ML> more subtle terrorism than before, and there will be
 ML> a lull, then another plane will disappear (Boeing if
 ML> anti-American, Airbus if generically anti-Western, or
 ML> maybe one of the Chinese, Canadian, or Brazilian ones
 ML> if anti-everybody), and another, and, up until the
 ML> resources of the perps are exhausted. I figure three
 ML> or four and the industry will be in a shambles, with
 ML> only me and Lilli flying, and then only after strip
 ML> searches.
 NB> Quite paranoid.  And hopefully only paranoid... but probably more
 NB> besides you and Lilli would still be flying... ;0

I hope that there are more intrepid ones other than Lilli
and me, but the airlines are running some pretty enormous
sales right now.

 ML> And more shrinkage, too. I do note that a couple of the
 ML> latest convictions in the Madoff case were of programmers.
 NB> Top-down dishonesty...  :(

In this case, yes, but the grassroots folks were far from
free of culpability.
