I should know better than this, but here goes...

Are you really related to John McPhee, Russ? I think i've read just about everything he's written, at least in book form. I'm sure there's lots more in magazine form I have yet to see. Sadly, he seems to be retired now. A very talented writer - I've learned tons from reading his books.
