• I hope to have more news next week.  Eventually I will convince people that all the things that are keeping them busy really are fun to read about and perhaps my column will grow.  I keep threatening them with the fact that they'll have to continue reading about what I do if they don't share what's going on with them and I'm learning slowly that I might need to take a different approach.  Maybe I should threaten them with a swarm of those mosquitoes from Minnesota that can spell!
