Divine Intervention or "That's what friends are for"

Dear Friends,

So, I thought I had written what could potentially be my last e-mail. Next I started calling around my friends to bid them bye. And one of them, namely, Sarath, in LaPlace, LA, changed my mind, through very gentle persuasion. As a result, I'll not be leaving town tomorrow for the extreme location that I had in mind, disclosed only to a dozen friends, and bought a bus ticket yesterday for. Instead, possibly in about 2 weeks, I shall head for the South, to spend up to a few months. I still have to talk to some of my friends there, and figure out the details. At this point, I'm so embarrassed that I'm not going send a revised e-mail. Instead, I'd let this be known to the friends who call or e-mail. Thanks a lot for bearing with me! Still it's not over, but this should give time to some friends' efforts on my behalf.
