A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between latitude 40 and 41 degrees north and between longitude 59 and 60 degrees west ."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist. "I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is, technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be in Management." "I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."

Not a thing, az. Sorry. 
Oh hang on... I do know one thing - his internet access is at Uni, and it's summer time, so he'll likely be offline until September, and nothing to worry about. Just guessing, you understand...

well, quite a few people are worried about him. He had started a thread called Life is Bad and he really does not sound well on it. Anyhow, let me know if you hear anything, okay?

hi FB,
Thought you might like to know that Jordan has been found by his friend Insight - J is on his way to spend some time with Insight. Hoping he is okay and all . . .

more good news,
Got a reply from Jordan on a thread I'd started on his page awhile ago - he sounds fine and promises that he'll be back.
and that's all I know.
happy az
