No unturn stoned

The K-W organizing committee has gone to great lengths to ensure a successful event. This includes commissioning special envoys to seek participation from friends and colleagues in far-flung places. As just one example, this picture depicts the frank and open exchange of views between myself and Jim Klinck at his home in Dominica last week about his possible attendance at the Dumont Reunion. In the end it was no contest -- Jim acknowledged that no amount of scuba diving in Dominica could replace a game of horseshoes in Waterloo. He'll be there.

Who are you? Where are you?

This blog has been visited by people all over the world - Iran, Russia, Ukraine, Dominica, Germany, Nicaragua, as well as Canada and the U.S. We know this because of the supernatural powers of divination conferred on us by the Keepers of The Internet, a little known sect of technological gurus whose motto is "10011011 10110000 11101110 00101000 10101011".

However, these powers do not enable us to determine who is visiting (which is probably a good thing). For that we must call upon the Users of The Internet to step forward and identify themselves.

So how's about it, folks? Let the rest of us know where you are. Leave a comment along the lines of "Hey, folks, Roddie Hay here and I'm in Heaven. How's that for irony?"

Or something like that.

This is Rosco Bell. I'm in Regina. Hope to see you in K-W.
