Hi, faithful readers. This is Christine, John’s older sister. Chatting with John yesterday, I heard that he had an update planned. However, a camping adventure in the jungle seems to have stood in the way. Let’s try to be patient and understanding, shall we?

In the meantime, I suggest that there be public clamor for more stories about the jungle flora and fauna–especially the strangler fig. The strangler fig rocks, but you need to hear about it from teh John.
