Well, here I am on the 3rd of May, finally catching up to the April 19 issue. ;D
At lunch today I read the article by the writer who returned to the U.S. after living in China for 15 years. He and his wife settled in southwestern Colorado. :D One day they got a telephone call from a Chinese tour company that wanted to sell them a vacation tour to a mysterious land with lots of cowboys called Wai Er Ming. ... ;D

His wife mistook a phone call from the National Rifle Association as coming from the National Lightbulb Association. Then the author won a half-marathon in Vegas.

;D Tell you what, if I hadn't moved five times since Bush I, I wouldn't be surprised to find some that old.
