Letter from the Editors

As our new U.S. President and the citizenry he leads face the current difficult economic realities, we here at BOI will strive to keep your mind off of the troubles that are all around. Via editorial content that is informative and entertaining, BOI will try - as wel always do - to make life for our readers, even if for just a few minutes, a little bit better.

How do we do that? First, by pointing you in the right direction regarding Where to Find Men, the feature topic of this second issue of the year. The "Congregations of Men" article and its introduction of "PTA worship" should bring a smile to your faces, and hopefully the Man Finder answers will shed some light on, or impart some needed info about, places ­ be them physical locations or internet sites - that will help you find the men you desire.

While helping you to successfully find more men is sure to please, the subject of one of our upcoming issues is likely to put a grin on your face from ear to ear. Issue #05.09 of BOI, which hits the street on March 5, is our St. Patrick's Day / Pets Issue. We're not sure about leprechauns in the issue, however we do plan on having plenty of dog and cat photos. Actually we'd like to present a pictorial spread with lots of photos of our readers with their beloved pets, similar to this photo here of me with my Basenjis Airy (on the left) and Wilson.

So, knowing that all you pet-owning BOI readers undoubtedly have tons of cute pics of you and your dog, cat, or whatever you have that qualifies as a pet, we're asking that you submit a pic to be included in the pictorial for the Pets Issue. Attach your jpg picture file to an email sent to BoiPhotos@aol.com. In the email make sure to include your name and the name of your pet that's in the picture with you.

We can't wait to see what is sure to be a fun collection.

Regards,
Michael Pleasants, Assistant Editor
