I will be away from home for much of the next month. First, I will be in the San Francisco Bay Area for a week doing tourist stuff, and some medical things as well. After a brief stop in Las Vegas to do laundry, Betty and I will be off to Europe for a poker cruise and sightseeing trip to Venice, Med and Black Sea cruise, Athens and Madrid. We are really looking forward to it.

I will try to keep up with the website, but please bear with me if Thoughts of the Week and forum posts are brief and/or sporadic.
