Thanks for the invites guys - maybe next time I can actually get around to see some of you, the US is always great for travel and Edith who hasn't been to the US before loved it (her remark to one many of the New England towns we passed through was: "So it's not just props in those Hollywood movies, American towns actually DO LOOK like what you see in the movies and they have wooden houses too ..."). Meanwhile I'm back in office and quite busy and at the same time following with breathless amazement as the world financial system unravels - if this was a movie you'd think: "This is not realisitic ...". Well, it is!

PS: I was strong and did not buy the ATK.
PPS: Edith was weak. She bought it. For my birthday, so I neither get to see or to play it until then. Alas, womenfolk can be cruel.
