It had to be done!  You were on Chapter 65 or something over the weekend and when i got back to the UK it was 80!  I needed to just hunker down and read.
I dread to think how many chapters I'll have to catch up on when I get back from the States 
Hey - and looky look!  Thank god I'm not a tourist any more 
Before you know it, Helen, you'll be in the 1000+ posts club and for that, they give you a statue, secret handshake and password. Although they are getting stingy with the statues and I had to share mine. And I am still waiting on the Ennis and Ellery version! David...are you working on that?
Oh...you want to see my statue? Here 'tis....

As for your US trip, buy a laptop. There is wifi everywhere. I couldn't live without my computer under my arm....
