Greetings from Rochester, NY, and the home of Ralph Tetta Enterprises, a subsidiary of Steve Burr Enterprises, Inc.  On the eve of my big road trip to Wisconsin, I'm excited, stressed, looking forward to it and not looking forward to it all at the same time.

My wife Pamela and I have gone through our regular ritual that we play out whenever I go away on an extended roadtrip; she has asked me to pull everything down from the high shelves that she can't reach, I've killed every bug and taken out all the garbage (like she and the baby won't create any garbage in two weeks).  It's all over but the crying, and actually, it's only two weeks, wheras in June and July, I was gone for five weeks straight, so this is nothing more than an excercise.

The books I bought continue to sell; I've been averaging two a day.  Not bad for passive income, and I'm sure my touring companion, Ray Salah, and I will most definitely make the scene at every thrift store, Goodwill, library book sale and church second-hand sale we can find.  He's actually a much better book-sniffer than I am, so I'll utilize his bloodhound skills.

I've got a 3 A.M. wakeup call to hit the road by 4, so I'm calling this one short.  Mobile updates as the two weeks progress, so stay safe and Go Bills (who by the way, had a successful scrimmage with Bills QB J.P. Losman making a good showing)!
