I don't know. Maybe I'm just grumpy at this hour, but this craft of ours seems more and more like Avon or Tupperware for the new millenium.

But ISDN could be tricky.

The idea of living and travelling in one of those has always appealed to me but, like most of us I imagine, I'd need/prefer to keep the house too. It's certainly a resourceful approach and the story really interests me, but raises far more questions than it answers.

One wonders how much she's following a dream and how much making the best of a bad situation. Even if it's mostly the latter l still kind of like it - as long as she's happy that way. Maybe it just beats living in Shrewsbury? Good luck to her.

I like the idea. It's probably easier than building a pillow "booth" at the Holiday Inn.

I've talked to Karen a bit here and there. Trying to get her to come this way so we can get a bike ride in. I think George has consulted with her on the RV studio.

Wow. If she can make it work, more power to her on her quest for discovery and travel!

Hokey smokes, it's Karen Saltus! I used to get together with her in Portland, ME for "VO Girls' Night Out".

Wow— what a life!

Karen is the real deal, no Avon lady. Yes, I consulted with her a tiny bit, it was mostly her ingenuity. I am jealous, someday I hope to do the same thing (before I am 64).
