I just returned from visiting with extra-terrestials on the planet Tertius in the year 4109AD {give or take a couple of years depending on how you measure time}.
Well, actually I just got back from a business trip in which I had to do without the Internet, and I missed you guys and gals too!
I have a whole lotta reading to do to catch up with what's been happening-like the Getaway for example. I'm sure it went well.
As to whether I will be able to attend next year. Well, I'd love to say "Definitely!!!" But I have this open invitation to visit Mars and Venus and might not be back in time.
I missed you guys and gals. Thanks again for thinking of me.
