Just a few bits of news. First of all, I will be away for a few days at a beach resort just south of Manila. I'll be diving and drinking beers by the beach in Big Laguna near Puerto Galera on Mindoro. Can't wait.

The reason for this trip? Well, as it happens, today is my birthday. The big 41. That's part of the reason. The second is that...yes...last night at about 4AM I finally finished writing the latest textbook. Yes, I still have loads of editing to do, but the content and all other crap for the CD and so on is 100% finished. So I will be there with a clean conscience. So I got that going for me, which is nice (*apply Bill Murray in Caddyshack voice).

I'll post some pics when I get back on Monday. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Cheers,

Mike

I know how it feels to be 41! If you meet a drunk Aussie dive instructor called Peter Wilson...Tell him I said to get f..cked...from the flightless bird. He's a good laugh if you meet up with him.
