Hey Euro-gang,

I'm making my first trip to the continent next week (all on the company
nickel, 10 days of travel for a total of about 2-4 hours of work - bless
the giant corporation and the bounty it brings). I'll be in Milan, Paris
and Amsterdam between May 24th and May 31st. If anyone is interested in
dazzling me with their twisting skills while I'm over there, please feel
free to drop me a line. (As those who have met me will attest, I'm not
much of a twister, but I'm a charming tubby fellow who appreciates the
talents of others.)

P.S. to no one in particular: If a member chooses to drop off the list,
it can be done quietly and with dignity, with no malice toward our
editors, who are doing a fine job keeping BalloonHQ and the mail lists
running, interesting and on-topic. Just follow the simple unsubscribe
instructions in the monthly posting of rules. Or lurk for a while, what
the heck. This list is a privately run public forum, and freely offers
participation to those willing to follow the rules.

P.P.S.: As an aside, the fact that no one flames a member doesn't mean
that people enjoy, or can even comprehend, that member's posts. As a
writer and educator, I long ago stopped blaming my audience if they
couldn't appreciate or understand me.
