More May! Yup, another May column. Be sure to check it out -- Lots of new stuff; a few old issues revisited. And if you're reading this in Montana, North Dakota, or Wyoming, shoot me an email with your name and council! Keep yer eyes peeled for June... Be on the lookout for a question about a Cubzilla!
Enjoy the read --

Suffering from "Andy Withdrawal"? Suffer no more! A second (yes, SECOND) column for May just went up, and the month ain't over yet, so keep yer eyes peeled! Yup, more of "the usual suspects" with some new Q's thrown in for good measure. Read on, good readers... Especially if you live in Arkanasa, Montana, North Dakota, or Wyoming (to find out why, check the latest column).

OK, it's up -- My first May column. I'll be posting another late next week. Why the "delay" this month? Well, I actually had to apply triage protocols... Some folks were in pretty desperate need of right-away answers, so I gave these priority over the column itself -- I suspect that most readers may not know that, from "Day One," I've personally replied to every question, from every reader who's written to me. Then, for the columns, I try to choose the most interesting, or something with a slightly different twist than what may have been addressed before, and I try to keep as good a balance as possible between the various Scouting programs. So, go check out the May column, and keep your eyes peeled for a second one, shortly.
Happy Scouting--
Andy
