[Auriea]

Dear Syndi,

I've just spent several days in a small cottage in the north of France 
having copious amounts of food and wine forced upon me by loving 
relatives.
While I catch up on my syndicate-reading (and possibly responding), I 
invite you to come to the Forest...

It's not about drugs nor artificial gardens nor 100K. It is what it is 
(a fairy tale) and, it works.

with love,
Auriea.
