Well - it's been a long long time since I last posted. Nothing special to say though, blog wise - except I am even more convinced we should become the 51st State!
But thaty idea went down like a lead balloon on this blog at least! So I'll try to think of something of more interest to passers by.
That's not to say I have not enjoyed life and its experiences in the meantime - life is still good. Hope the same goes for anyone who has passed by in the past and may do so in the future!

I was amazed today when I did a Google search on '51st State' and in the top 3 results I found a Wikipedia link which discussed the 51st state concept including which countries could be candidates and also the film of the name. Lo and behold I found someone had included a link to my own campaign article on the BBC's Action Network! Isn't this internet thing powerful and good at networking information through its own dynamic? here's the link I found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/51st_state#United_Kingdom (See the 'example' link in the 3rd line. My son Luke (SUer lukenmich) was here and was greatly impressed too! (Well he should be, I am his ole man after all!)
