Aitch!

They will be a tight fit Aitch, but you just might manage

I would have taken the dog too!

Hey JK have a safe trip.

I hope the thief is not a psychopath and the guitar does not show up in little "chunks" at Graham's house. Perhaps this is payback from the RIO folks.

LOL!!

Don't worry John.........I'll be there to pick you up from the airport...........wearing only Susanna Hoffs' underwear..........as requested

I hope you have a ball, JK!

You have raised the bar.. we will expect great things from this trip. Keep us posted on any important events. Have a great time!

Now that's an image I can't wait to get out of my head!!! Better just carry it with you...small sizes....unmarked, inconspicuous piece of luggage. If you decide to wear it, there's a good chance you'll never see your guitar....or me ever again! Now if you could somehow get the incomparable Ms. Hoff's to wear it....oh never mind.

All this, assuming of course, that the kidnappers have a plan to actually get the guitar to you. Other than the mysterious ransom note that flew into JB's car, I haven't heard from them.....

The plot thickens!

I arrived home from work this afternoon, to put my suitcase in the car for the drive to DC and.....look what was sitting on my front porch!

Attached to it was a note that was written in some kind of code. So far I've only been able to start deciphering the first few words.....

_O _O_ O_ _N O_ _H_ _OG G__'S IT!!! The rest will have to wait until tonight, when I can log into some NASA computers and try to break the code.

I think I cracked the code...............is it?..............IT'S GONAREHA ?

Oh GOD, I'm ruined forever............


Great way to start a thread John, your dog MUST be related to mine!

Forget the dog, John. You need what I have...highly skilled and trained attack parrots!

Not quite....the NASA super computers have gotten through the first sentence. It reads:

DO NOT OPEN OR THE DOG GET'S IT!!

I'm still working on the rest of it....will provide updates as I can.

I'd better be careful, or I may wind up having to take Joey's advice....

Well, with the computers crunching all night long, we've gotten this far in decoding the message.

DO NOT OPEN OR THE DOG GET'S IT!!

I'm not sure I'm up for all this international intrigue.....BTW, which Dog are they talking about......Jason?
