Baltimore - 28 November, 1999 - My part-time Assistant, Kevin Moore, and his lady, Elizabeth, brought me over a plate from their Thanksgiving meal while l was laboring away on Rastislav Durman's piece for this edition.

Kevin joked: "I told Elizabeth you probably wouldn't even let us in, it being Sunday and your working on the site."This guy is getting to know me too well.
But, when I looked down from my apartment, and saw Kev on the sidewalk, I knew it was safe to open the door. Though, darn it! I didn't need the distraction. I'm on deadline here.
It was wonderful to see and visit and with them.
My pal Nilda DoVale sent an e-mail today talking about getting together with her girlfriends up in Oregon and enjoying "scrumptious" victuals before they begin their holiday fixins and cookins and shopping for their families. It sounded totally down-home to me and made me envious of a life filled with friends....

Everybody wants to know if Rod if moving to Massachusetts next. Well, probably. IF the Powers-That-Be think I can be a good online asset. More on this after my flight up on shake-yer-booty Southwest Airlines. Yes, our pilot is in control...

Things That Bother Me This Week
- Well, I got the fax with my visa application from the Serbian Embassy in Ottawa. But I need to get a letter from Dragana saying that she and her husband, Dragan, vouch for me. If we can't get this done in three weeks, I don't make it to Belgrade for New Year's Eve. Come on!
- My sister-in-law, Martha Rudell Amis, still gives me crap about not finding a New Woman.
- I don't like Mondays.
- Anxieties over how easy it will be to get into (and out of) war-torn Yugoslavia unharmed.
- Do we *really* have to do Christmas again this year?
