Yes, we know! It's been a painfully long time since we've updated <I>The Alexander Home Page</i>.
But don't despair! Eventually we'll update this page one final time, allowing you to share
Alex's experiences on three additional vacations. And we also plan to offer you a peek into
our mailbag. So hang in there, dear reader. We haven't forgotten you!
<p>
In the meantime, we'd like to announce a brand new exciting web page that's being spun off
from <I>The Alexander Home Page</i>. It features Alex's sister Lindsey.
We expect Lindsey's home page to grow from its modest beginnings to one day rival
the grand scope of <I>The Alexander Home Page</i>.
So visit <B><a href="http://www.leaptoad.com/lhp">
<font color=purple>The Lindsey Home Page</font></a></b>
today, and get in on the ground floor! You'll be glad you did.
