If you missed Carolyn's column for the past two weeks,
it's because she's been globetrotting. She has returned from her Alaskan cruise - I saw
her with my own eyes yesterday...the postcard from her arrived today. The card depicts
Holland America Line's ms Nieuw Amsterdam, christened in 1983. She wrote: "Having a
marvelous time...mountains of delicious food! Lovely scenery..." Glad to have you
back, Carolyn.
