Well, it looks like the Blog is up and running....glad to get some feedback and hear from some old friends.
Here is a piece of internet news about a sea monster that is a little old, but nonethless worth reviewing. My sources indicate that it is authentic, and of course the Chinese swept the whole thing under the carpet.

This piece reminds me of "Incident at Loch Ness" , which if you haven't seen, please go rent immediately. It stars our favorite German madman director, Werner Herzog, and an ill-fated trip to Loch Ness to determine the "truth" of the creature's presence. If you have the time, please see a recent New Yorker article on Herzog to really catch the essence of this film-actually, i think I like Herzog better as an actor than a director, but you can judge for yourself.

Well, reality, fantasy, what's the difference?
