I decided to waste some time in the bloggery checking for signs of life. t appears that my message got through because you can't get there from here. The only one left standing is Thomas and he sounds like he will soon be going over the balcony presumably wearing new running shoes on the way down.
Once upon a time I heard that if you go into a large office building in Toronto and keep visiting offices and asking for a job, it is not possible to leave the building without a job.
It might be worth a try. Well I'm out of ideas.
