Any Other Business?

Dear All,

Our bedroom window was left open last night and we were swarmed by mosquitoes like a Younge St. “Foot Locker” on Boxing Day. Subsequently my writing this morning appears to have suffered, I think I am still coming down on whatever it is they deposit in you. As always here is Friday's “Pot Pouri” which I believe translates very roughly into dirty pot. Perhaps judging by the content it’s somewhat appropriate...

· Lost in translation, the”Off” I purchased at a reasonable discount back home must be sold as “On” on here. I appear to be a staple.

· Spell checker is my freeware version of “Hangman”, you would think after twenty years of formal education you wouldn’t be sending so many men off to the gallows.

· I can work a typing keyboard like Mr. Liberace might have, but I noticed yesterday that when I am printing my body slumps over, my face crinkles up and I look like some kid in grade school who has been held back for thirty some years.

And finally, one more for I what I hope you will agree is a “Happy Ending”.

· I noticed this confusing store front sign last night, “Wang Foot Massage”. Now I’m not sure if this place offers two separate but fairly common services in this town, or one very unique one.

Stay loose,
Mw
