I'm really glad that you didn't confuse a boa constrictor digesting an elephant with a hat. A hat! Gosh, those grown-ups are so weird.

Anyway, the one in the picture above is me. Well-- almost. A good friend of mine did this drawing. He tried his best, but I have to admit he wasn't a very good artist. It wasn't his fault, though. He would have been a great painter if the grown-ups that saw his drawings had understood. Oh well...

My friend Antoine ended up being an airplane pilot. A good one, but not very lucky: he crashed his plane several times! Although when you think about it, he was sort of lucky. It was because of one of those accidents that we met, and because of another accident he moved from Earth to a planet not too far from mine, but that's another story.

I'm really happy that now, with this Internet thing, I can have a replica of my house so you can come and visit me. Manuel, one of my friends on Earth, is helping me build it.

As you can imagine, I have no idea what this HTML thing is all about. Or is it LTMH? Anyway, I don't care. That's grown-up stuff.

So, come in, and enjoy my Asteroid. And don't forget to drop me a line to tell me what you think.

Today is the first day of my brand new asteroid!

The old one got started in 1995, but like four years ago my friend Manuel got "busy" with so much grown up stuff that the site got in really bad shape.

Such a silly thing to do, pay more attention to the urgent than to the important. Such a grown-up thing to do.

So, after all this time, I finally convinced him to get back into the really important things and rebuild the site - and here it is! We have some cool ideas that we'll be putting here as days go by.

For now, my favorite part is the "News," in which now and then I'll write about things that I see happening in your planet, things that happen on mine, or in general, things I think about.

I'm very excited about having a new home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Your friend in stars,
