Editorial Over-ride

We interrupt our tale with an important announcement.

My editor and I sat down with a few bananas and talked about how best to handle the explosive disclosures that will come in the next two installments. I say just tell it like it happened and let the pieces fall where they may. He has a very contrary opinion and jumped around and screeched for a good quarter hour before I gave in. Basically he acted like a real baboon about it all, and as always, got his own way, and the rest of the bananas as well.

So here's the way it will play out. Part two of this story won't be found on this same blog. We will set something up on some other site. Then anyone interested in following the story will just send us an email and we will respond to them with a site address and perhaps a password. That way only folks who are really interested get drawn in and the others can keep working on their income taxes or whatever. Also the story won't get ruined for those who may log on later and accidentally read the conclusion before the introduction. He insists we want to keep our reader base happy. When I pointed out that a generous count of our "reader base" showed five people at the most, he went ape again. It was then I finally realized that simians have no numerical concepts. Which explains my haphazard paycheck and all the random deductions.

So send us a note, tell us how you like the story, and we will share with you the next site. Just like a treasure hunt, huh?

so let's hear your great haircut story...does it have to do with our ancestors of the past? I will try and fix those links this morning if you haven't already.
