I’m on the home stretch before heading back to Canada for six weeks. I’m at my computer day and night, writing and writing in an attempt to get ahead before I hit the road. ‘Tis an uphill battle, but one that I figure I’m winning.

Mike’s Ryukyu Gallery put up a great little post about my guest post at I Will Teach You To Be Rich. He even taunts us with a beautiful steak he ate in Japan…for free. Read the comments on this article to find out how he managed it.
