    yep....i hate to think that we won't be able to catch up before that, but I will be there. Are you travelling much between then & now?
    If you see me running around the Cafe be sure to flag me down as I tend to jump from task to task with my head down.....

    Hey Mark, where were you working in Zim? I was teaching outside of Binga in '89 and '90-- I think I left just before the PC arrived in Zim (what year did they start?). Would love to chat some time with a Castle and bag of Willards... oh, yeah, there isn't any of either left in the country.... stuck with Mainstay and Mazoe... wait, just ran out of that, too. Cheers.
