<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi Folks!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Just wanted to let all of you who have paid for hats know that I have not yet received them from Sergio. Obviously he has been a little busy lately, plus I think he wasn't quite prepared for an order of over 100. (And remember, he is autographing most of them.) </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I will let you know when the hats arrive. Once that happens it will be a matter of me packaging them in a way that doesn't cost much but also keeps the hats safe and then they will be mailed off. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Btw, I was not typing with my teeth when my tooth broke. I only type with my teeth when my two index fingers are tired and they were both doing fine that night. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Take care all, </FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">PS Thank you for your condolences on my little streak of Grooish luck. On the whole scale of things it's all been minor stuff. The washing machine has been replaced, the hole in the water pipe has been fixed, things are dried out, a new used bicycle has been purchased, my left leg is all healed, my right leg is almost healed, a temporary crown was put over the broken tooth today, and the dog-ah the dog, man's best friend-had his doggie dentistry done and to show his gratitude he peed on the carpet right next to one of my comic book boxes two days in a row. Fortunately-for him-it did not soak through. I have changed his name to "Coyote Bait." </FONT></P>
