So many fine travel stories are buried on the Web and to your credit, World Hum leads the way in highlighting the best of the best. Your original features are also first class in their own right. Kudos to another fine year of World Hum.

Happy new year, dudes. And don’t get too wasted tonight. We’ll all be up bright and early tomorrow…awaiting the first post of 07. Do not disappoint your loyal fans.
Mike, my computer died over Christmas and I lost your e-mail address. Send it when you can.

Thanks for the great note, Ron. We really appreciate it.
Happy new year to you, and you, Mr. Tambourine Man. I’m counting on you to keep my lauging in ‘07, Tambourine.
