Ian,
Like I always say, booze will get you through times of no money better than
money will get you through times of no booze!

Love your Books,

Steve

Meeting friends

Greetings

In a couple of days I will be signing off Clayart for the duration of the
upcoming workshop tour.

While in the US I will be attending NCECA, and hope to meet some of you
there at the Clayart room or wherever.

Book orders will be filled by my trusty team (read Christine in Australia,
and Hamish in the US) while I am away. Incidentally the Aussie dollar is
around it's all-time low, which means cheap prices to overseas folk if you
buy from my website.... :)

Meanwhile I will be turning 60 on Thursday and am determined to make some
money from the event. (Buy my books!!) As one with delusions of great
wealth I am wrestling with the problem of whether to spend the $15 I won
from the $10 scratch-it (60th birthday present from in-laws)... whether to
spend it on another scratch-it or even a couple of lotto tickets.

Or should I put it towards an alcohol-led assault on the forces of entropy?
(We talked about entropy before ok?)

And if I win the lotto, should I just cancel the tour and invite everyone
over here? (Probability analysis unwelcome... thankyou!)

Looking forward to meeting old and new friends soon....

Ian
