Second Ensenada Cruise Q & A - 2001
On the second annual
Venice cruise, Venice held another fan Q&A.
Michael Lennon was even there this time!

questions,
and had my friend Jon DeLong ask them for me. (He went
first.)

Especially since I had the advantage of being too far away to
hit with a flying projectile.
