Hello, friends --

I'm sitting in a noisy cafe in a lovely little town surrounded by volcanos, some of them active (and puffing a little smoke now and then!), and I've just queued up the first 2006 edition of The Certain Way to go out to you.

As there are only 236 jobs ahead of it in the queue, it'll be in your inbox VERY soon. (The internet never ceases to amaze me -- in countless ways.)

It's packed with ideas and resources. Hope you enjoy it! Now, if you'll excuse me there's about an hour of daylight left and I'm going to go stroll through the central square and people-watch!
