9/3 - future travelling

Several warming reminders today of the forthcoming House of Writers gathering in North Carolina:   a comment on the subject of Utopia by  Mike Handley - he and his wife Gita have very kindly offered to let me stay with them for a couple of days before the event so that I can recover from jet lag, an experience which which more than double the enjoyment both before and after the event;  a Facebook comment on the subject of friendship from Michael B,  and other 6S posts from the many others who will be there ... July can't come quick enough.
