But I'm across the Pond and cannot be trusted ;-)<br /><br />For those wishing to read Tom (Hippo)'s blog, the name of it is A Hippo on the Lawn, and here's the link:<br /><br />http://hippo-on-the-lawn.blogspot.com<br /><br />I, too, wish he'd blog some more. He's a wonderful writer.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-14988403222363939682016-02-17T21:38:49.327+00:002016-02-17T21:38:49.327+00:00I think the silence is oddI think the silence is oddJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-62785894698667923992016-02-17T13:19:09.921+00:002016-02-17T13:19:09.921+00:00I last heard from him privately back in June when ...I last heard from him privately back in June when he emailed me out of the blue. The story was much the same. The Angolan currency had tanked and his fancy half-paid-for woodworking machines were stuck in limbo in Italy. His gammy leg had kept him from breaking in his new boots. He mentioned he was considering pulling up stakes and moving the show to Belize. I responded but then did not hear back from him. About a month ago I send him another email urging him to throw his readers a bone to no avail. I do hope his silence is not a sign of greater troubles.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-31787426359387177522016-02-17T11:48:58.053+00:002016-02-17T11:48:58.053+00:00So glad you have made contact and he is still aliv...So glad you have made contact and he is still alive and kicking. I know he has battled very hard there to create his dream of a fishing resort in what sounds to be a pretty rugged place. Pity that it isn't working out. I hope he is not too proud ( and stubborn ) to leave before his health is completely ruined.Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-57408237041769794432016-02-16T21:57:14.836+00:002016-02-16T21:57:14.836+00:00Happy to hear you have been in contactHappy to hear you have been in contactJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-7600160728124080912016-02-16T20:37:43.842+00:002016-02-16T20:37:43.842+00:00So glad to hear that Hippo's OK,Cro.

Irascible, hardened, but kind too, though he nearly lost me when he shot his dog; it was kind of like watching a train wreck. We want Hippo.
