The Wheel is turning and he can't slow down.

Just received a fax about an upcoming wine tasting. Not so unusual. Oh, except for the fact that it originated from somewhere up the Maroni River in French Guiana. The man can not stop working. I can just picture his eyes bugging out when he spied a little fax machine behind some counter in some out of the way restaurant. "Hey, can I send a few messages out? I just have a little business to take care of."

Anyway, included in the message was some news of the trip which I'll reprint here:

"Today we're on the Maroni River fishing for piranha. For dinner last night we ate grilled capybaras (a large river rat that tastes sweeter than pork), roasted wild yams, and anaconda fricassee with kidney beans.

Looking forward to returning to NY, and eating some pizza."
