Remember, for those coastal rowing championships…

It’s Istanbul, NOT Constantinople

It sounds like you will be busy! Good for you!
I finally got down and obtained samples of the oil in the Gulf of Mexico: the beaches are cleaned continually and there was no oil in the water at Grand Isle or the Port of Fourchon. This is good news for Louisiana! Police are keeping people off of the beaches though.

Hi Roz,
Good to receive updates from you at any point in time.
Any nibbles for speaking engagements in Western Canada?
Norm

“I was fed up with the corporate hi-life; having the proper car and going to the posh places.” (or something like that) How different from these days where we are presenting at the Tiki Tacki resort where we’ll be the guest of Prince Political. Then off to VietNam, a kingdom of plastic where they will serve you a nice fresh fish. You can tell that it’s fresh because they don’t boil the head leaving the the gils and mouth operational while the diners pluck the flesh with chop sticks. Mmmm Yummy. Now when someone speaks of a Rim it would normal to assume a hole in the middle and in the case of the Pacific Rim we find the charming Philippines. Great place to get a tattoo. They have beautiful coral and reef fishes both of which are for sale. You will have a big job convincing those Ecco thugs anything. Roz, I really care about you and I believe you are sincere. I just hope you will see the people at large and not be captured by the first class syndrome because you are heading for the corner of the world where fooling the white person is a matter of pride. Take it easy.

The Roz itinerary is a brilliant idea. This really helps us keep track you. Thanks! (Can’t wait to hear the details of your speaking engagements.)

Norm – I will be in Vancouver for at least one event. Please check back in on this blog at the start of September for details.

Texino – oh purleeese. I thought you would know me better by now. If I boycotted every country in the world that indulged in eco-unfriendly practices, I would be doomed to spend the rest of my days confined to my rowboat in the middle of the ocean. How can I try to change the world if I refuse to engage with most of it?

you rock!

Roz, nice rugged boots. Look very similar to my low tops. Keen!
Aren’t yours the winter model? Are they a bit hot in those climes?
And the ginormous watch! Please remind us the make and model

The boots are indeed my beloved Keens. But the watch isn’t mine – it’s Nick’s. Don’t know what it is.

My watch, though, is highly recommended. Casio G-Shock Pathfinder. Solar powered, with compass, altimeter (useful on mountains) and barometer (useful for doing NASA S’COOL data recording!). Very kindly bought for me by a fan when I lost my previous Pathfinder overboard when the strap broke. I love it!

You have us all in AWE!!!!!

Can’t wait to see you here in Asheville.
