Should I call you fellow soul mates or inmates? Whatever,I am off to India for my winter pilgrimage and wont return til April.
I am leaving here,today anyway.......from a bad section of town. The 100 block of Orchid Ave.

When I return in April is it possible strangers and friends alike may rally to buy us a new location for Shareholder headquarters in a nicer section of town like somewhere in the 5 or 600 block?

I guess I wont worry about that just now. My bags are nearly packed and this year American Air is charging $50 for the 2nd bag. Last year was free. I pleaded with them that share price was below $2 and they just laughed.

So instead of taking 2 bags I am only taking one.

Once a week I hope to check share price in the days to come but I live in Rishikesh,the old home to the Fab 4,the Beatles. Internet is costly to an Orchid shareholder these days so my emails wont be so long,nor my Orchid messages.

It will be tough on the 4 of you(5 with the new guy)I know but these are the things that create a strong character fellow inmates.

If,in the coming months, the flower blooms for the first time since 2000 I am going to have a party. You are all invited. I will even buy gas for Jims Jumbo is he still has it and he hasnt gone to the "chair" yet.

But anyway,enough about me. Time to observe silence and prepare myself for my extended stay in the foothills of the Himalaya's.

Nemeste.
