Hey Tim:
Let me know when (if) they arrive. They went out of Nairobi, Kenya
via 5-day mail on Monday. That means, with any luck, you ought to
get them by the deadline in December.

Flies arrived safe & sound - nice tie, Myron.

Ahh, excellent. Only 6 business days...5 if you disregard Monday.
Good to know that the African mails still work...at least in East
Africa.

How many tyers are there?

I'm hoping still 15. I had one person email that they wanted to cancel,
but I've asked them to reconsider. It's one thing to cancel because of
an emergency issue, quite another just to cancel for a silly reason.
NIMS (Not In My Swap). The way my mama raised me was that a person
should follow through on commitments. I'm sure hoping the rest of your
mamas did as good of a job.

I ran out of hooks right at #20 (in fact, a
close inspection will show that I had to use a couple of wet fly
hooks to complete the batch), otherwise I would have done a few
extras. Do me a favor, and if you spot one or two that look a bit
more bedraggled than the rest, don't send those out. :-)

At quick glance, they all looked pretty good to me, but I'll spot check
as I go.

The odds look pretty good that I'll be in Boston over Valentine's day
for the next job fair. I'll make arrangements to get my flies from
you then.

YEHAA! The Valentines Day Mass-occur. Beer and burger time!

Tie them up pretty, boyos.

Yeah - like *that* will happen! ;-)
