I can attest to the fact Mike has no shortage of material--he made the mistake of requesting the journal I wrote chronicling my trip from WA to Phoenix and back. I sent him about ten thousand words!
Of course, three full issues of Profiles containing nothing but my ramblings would be more than a little monotonous... If he manages to edit down that monstrosity to article-size, no one can possibly complain that Profiles might be a little late now and again!
