Entry 25:

Whitney:

That's the breaks of the computer age, I guess.

This is probably our last e-mail of the week, so I can't really follow up your Millionaire mention by asking what I really want to ask. What do you think of The Weakest Link? So far, attempts to copy Millionaire's success have not been too popular, and I think the "vote contestants off" portion of the game won't attract a Survivorlike following because it doesn't carry from episode to episode. What makes Survivor popular is its next-day office-discussion potential.

Yesterday, I passed a vendor on the street selling corn on the cob, followed by another vendor selling dental floss.

This has been fun; we'll have to keep in touch with the future. Perhaps we can be radio co-hosts some day, like an absurd cross between George and Gracie and the writing staff of Entertainment Weekly.

Finally, since I said I wouldn't do it in my first post of the week, I will now talk about the Bush tax cut. Last week the tax cut received about as many searches on Lycos as gospel lyrics, Rogaine, Mr. T, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? If that isn't a picture of the national psyche, I don't know what is.

Keep your feet on the ground and your knees slightly above them.
