Hey George,
Where are you now? You seem to be missing in Darfur! We're concerned about you. What's happening with your blog? Since you haven't written for the last year. Are you Okay? Are you lost? Is your girlfriend keeping you from your duties - to save the world? The world needs you.
Best regards,
Gale and Ewa
