I’m Resigning from Being the P&PP Moderator

[KeithE]

My wife, my son and myself are leaving on a 2 week trip to Holy Land / Egypt tomorrow and I have several more trips / bridge tournaments planned for this year. I’ll probably be without my desk computer for a third of the year.

So is there any one else who wants to be Moderator of this tranquil forum?

Bruce Gourley is still at our house (he is finishing a game of Exploding Kittens as I write - I already “imploded”). He will leave here tomorrow morning for more travels. So he can implement any changes if you identify yourself today. What a deal!

Update: Bruce won at Exploding Kittens.

Sorry to see it.

In regard to your trip. A visit to the Cairo museum is one of life's great experiences. Pyramids aren't too shabby either but nothing like the museum. National Geographic has a very interesting spread on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre with a number of graphics. Haven't been there and don't have plans to go but if I did I'd use NG's maps and historical diagrams to get an understanding of the layout. Have a nice trip...

Thanks for the travel advice. We are on a tour and probably have little discretion of what we visit. But the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is one place we stop. I do not see that the Cairo Museum is planned.

I bought a National Geographic book that encapsulates many NG articles. It has been an interesting read.

Now I have to see if I can pack it since there is a 44 lb limit on luggage (due the tour bus not the airlines).

I'd guess that you are more of a map/diagram guy than a text guy. The NG issue for this past December has the diagrams, maps charts. Would fit in your pocket. Here's the to the story but I didn't see the diagrams online. I was always a bit confused by the traditional site of the tomb and the crucifixion both being in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

The museum has all the Tutankhamun stuff plus the most prominent mummies. Be a shame to miss it.
