I don't know Rick Lee. I'd like to hear his music some day, especially if it fits well with Bob Zentz.

Congratulations to John. Welcome to the 'Cat.

Not much happening in Guam this week. We have some headquarters people visiting us and I've been in so many meetings I am developing calluses on my butt. But every afternoon I leave the office and go down to the sea where I float around communing with the fishes. They attend no meetings and their schools are more enjoyable than any I've ever been in. It's a nice way to unwind.

They moved the canoe down to the park behind the Chamorro Village. Last week we worked on it under the blue sky and next to the shining water. Boats plied in and out of the marina while we worked. People would drive by and stare at the red and black hull with what seemed to be wonder in their eyes. They were looking back into their own history.

This Saturday we will have a BBQ while we work. It promises to be a good day. I will take my guitar to practice for Tuesday.

Tuesday I will be on the local NPR radio station performing songs both accompanied and unaccompanied. That should be fun. The DJ, Jay McDonald, invited me some time ago but I only recently agreed.

There is another tropical depression forming down around Chuk. This one promises to develop into a typhoon and the models predict it coming this way. Cross your fingers. The last one, Sudal, hit Yap very hard, wiping out homes and businesses. There is a great need for aid in all forms down there.

I would say that there is a good chance of getting to Australia next Easter for the National. Keep me apprised.
