          We're back to normal after I have had an excellent week
          finishing things off at work. Bad news however, there will be
          no issue on Friday. I will be at the Internet Expo in Chicago
          most of the day. Have fun with these huge issues.

      Education
        Spanish Language Schools in the Americas
                Cultural and gastronomical immersion are invaluable tools
                in learning Spanish, and I recommend traveling south to
                learn the language. There are wonderful schools in
                Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Ecuador and
                Peru. This directory has just been updated - and if
                anyone has a school to recommend, let me know!

        Focusing on Words
                An essential element in anyone's education is the
                understanding of a great number of words. Focusing on
                Words (http://www.wordfocus.com) challenges users with a
                vocabulary program which will provide a greater
                understanding of words by presenting
                thematic-etymological materials and fascinating word
                histories based primarily on the many Latin and Greek
                elements used in English. Not only is information
                (definitions) provided, but each exercise, quiz, and test
                can be scored (graded) on-line within one or two minutes.
                In addition to the vocabulary studies, there is an
                extensive presentation of time systems (calendar
                histories). This is the serious distance-learner's
                opportunity to expand his/her vocabulary skills by going
                to the web site at for this free course delivered by
                Focusing on Words.
