Ya know, I am getting the idea that people think a visit to the
People's Democratic Republic of Korea is a bad idea!
But not everyone. In fact, it's likely that I won't be traveling
alone! Christopher Rivera may be joining me. He's a friend of Craig
and Sean's, and has attended a few of my Halloween parties. He's
really hooked on the whole project. And he also wants a uniform. But
if the situation over there looks too dangerous or questionable, I
would likely call it off.

Good point! For all you guys know, I have already been visiting North
Korea every February! This is just the first time that I made an
announcement about it. Previously, I claimed to be 'too busy' to go.

Thanks for the help, Joy. Let's not ask about where I may or may not
go during President's Day Weekend!

A "lame-o plan", you say??
Is there maybe a touch of envy here that I would be the owner of one
SUPER FANTASTIC INCREDIBLE HELLAVUH COOL UNIFORM, and you won't? ;-)
