Well, I'm doing OK and thanks for asking. I read your personal update of a few weeks ago after your equestrian accident and slightly later when you asserted you were once again at work on your new book. There was a flurry of board exchanges at the time regarding Jack Coles and other matters to which you contributed and which I did not find the time to thank you for your answers. I'll do so now. And, BTW, on the subject of draconian prison terms for crimes such as Coles was convicted of, I'm in complete agreement with you.

Going to school again (Cal Poly SLO), having switched from Geology to Business. Figured I might want to allow for some possibility of actually going to work and earning a supplementary income eventually.

I hope you're still making progress in your recovery from your back injury.

Mike W.
