MR. GATES, I PRESUME?

Due to my travel schedule, I can’t respond to every message individually. But if you’ve got a secret treasure map I should know about, or if you’re trapped in a high mountain cabin and fending off a Yeti attack, e-mail is an expeditious way of getting a hold of me. As for snail mail, please be patient. It takes time for envelopes to be routed by steamship to Singapore, flown cargo freight to Cairo, and taken overland by camel caravan to Timbuktu or wherever I happen to be. Note: At this time, I can’t accept copies of my book or 8x10 headshots to sign. It clogs the system, and the camels get really moody about it. Thanks for your understanding.
