(Dateline Budapest, March 22, 2006) -- Okay, former Lukatch Newsletter recipients, I've decided to go modern and up-to-date with a Blog. Blog! Who thought up that name? Where did it come from? What does it mean? Who really cares? From now on - say, as of April 1, 2006 - The Lukatch Newsletter will be discontinued and I will post all of my updated adventures, information, and other cool stuff here on my very own Blog. I will send out one final Newsletter edition by March 31, after which you can (apparently) sign in here and read all about my adventures, mistakes, Bacchanalian revelries (and they are still legion!), travels, and other good and fun things happening in my life. We shall see how it works.

The last Newsletter was just sent (early March 2006), so everyone should be caught up with my news, mainly: New book published and available on amazon.com and authorhouse.com; more birthdays for Morgan, Samantha and Tony; recent Bucharest trip; attack of the Chip Butties; upcoming travel plans. Not much new since then, unless you count karaoke night at the Canadian Embassy and an abortive trip to Slovakia. BUT -- the adventures continue, and there will be more goodies posted as they occur, or as I find time to write them.

So don't despair, faithful readers, you haven't lost a Newsletter, you've gained a BLOG!

BTW -- I must have read the Blog address wrong. To access my Blog directly, all you need to do is type in: http://teachrman/blogspot.com. Sorry for the errors.
