Dear Alan,

Well friends, after months of recording, we've finally given birth to our newest album, "NOTHING IS SOUND." This album was recorded all over the world while on tour in places as far as Germany, Africa, and Australia, and also places as close as our backyard. We are in the final stages of mixing what we all feel to be our strongest record yet... which is scheduled to release... (dramatic pause) in early August. We feel like proud parents, and we can't wait to introduce you to our newest creation. I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl, but it definitely has teeth.

Alan,

Hello! Good to hear from you. Due to budget cuts, date conflicts with the Gap as well as new staff in my department ....yes, the rumor is true. The training this summer will not be taking place at the Gap (big time bummer!). It is our sincere desire to return to the Gap the following summer if $ and staff assignments permit.

I'm in the process of writing the PLCB Grant for next year as we speak...it's due to Harrisburg this Friday. The area that PLCB is providing funding in (if I submit a successful application!) is evidence-based program training. I see MYRACE being a recipient of this training that will be provided by the University of Minnesota's Alcohol Epidemiology Program. You guys will be invited to my office for 1 and 1/2 days to receive this training. We are also looking to do a "Gap like" training locally (including fun!) IF money allows.

I see no conflicts with you scheduling SATs in June. Training will not be taking place that month due to me being in Penn State and Montana for 2 weeks and facilitating our elementary Camp KIDS Program the remaining 2 weeks of that month.

Hope to see you on the 5th @ our next meeting!

Does chocolate actually cause acne?

Dear Hershey:
This is a vicious lie, possibly spread by the fruit-and-vegetable industry and abetted by their allies in the vanilla lobby. The truth is, there is no evidence of any chocolate-in, pimples-out reaction. In fact, two separate studies have purportedly disproved the link.

How Long Must This Go On?

Two Arabs boarded a flight out of London. One took a window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle seat. Just before takeoff, an American sat down in the aisle seat.

After takeoff, the American kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, "I need to get up and get a coke."

Don't get up," said the American, "I'm in the aisle seat; I'll get it for you."

As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the American's shoe and spat in it. When he returned with the coke, the other Arab said, "That looks good, I'd really like one, too." Again, the American obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone the other Arab picked up his other shoe and spat in it.

When the American returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.

As the plane was landing, the American slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened.

"Why does it have to be this way?" he asked. "How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and peeing in cokes?"
