Hello All,

For those Babbagers that know me best, they have known for some time that this moment was going to happen. For those that don't, I will permit you a small look into my Typist's life. My Typist's employment requires that he travel periodically for extended stays in less than hospitable parts of the world...places no sane Babbager might find themselves.
