“Happy Holidays!” For most of us that means Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! For some of us, it means other things, equally as important. But for almost all of us, it means a time of joy, festive gatherings, and wishes of peace and prosperity for the coming year.
Whatever it means for you, please know that AfterMath Enterprises/Adventures wishes the best for you. May your Holiday Season be the best possible in these crazy times, and may 2022 bring you some fulfilment of your dreams, and one in which we all could somehow experience some semblance of peace and “goodwill to all”.

Please Help Us Evaluate!
We can’t keep AME’s services (especially the Bi-Weekly Mailing) meaningful FOR YOU, if we don’t keep up with your likes, dislikes, opinions and suggestions! And we can’t do that unless we can hear from you!! Usually, the most efficient way to do that is a quick survey. I know – we all hate them, but this one is SHORT (9 box-check questions), and is really for YOUR benefit as well as ours!! So, in order to get the feedback, we’re willing to bribe you! 🙂 The details, the survey link, and the GIFTS are below, so please help us out.
PICK A GIFT!!
Fill our a survey, and in return pick your choice of these FIVE gifts:
- A never-expires coupon for 35% off any purchase of a current (or future) book by Campbell.

** Here’s the Survey Link: AME ’21 Survey **
NOTES & ‘Fine Print’
- You may take the survey anonymously, if you wish, but the best way to secure your prize is to give your name. It’s OK to be honest – seriously!
- These offers are good in January ’21 only. (The coupon in #1 is forever, but the chance to get it ends 1/31.)
- All offers include FREE (First Class, if possible) mailing, as needed. Choosing Priority Mail may incur a small charge.
- BEST WAY TO PROCEED to claim your free gift. Fill out the survey, enter your name (see #1 above), and e-mail me that you’ve completed the survey. If you want to choose your gift then, you may. Either way, I’ll follow up and complete the deal.

As mentioned, I’m running an experiment with the mailing this week. And rather than ask you to respond to a survey, I’ll help us both and offer A REWARD as an incentive!
If you have spotted (or can spot) what’s different about the mailing this week*, let me know (Reply, CONTACT, etc.), and you are eligible for this two-fold DEAL:
For 5 days only (expires Friday 4/20), you may receive 20% off retail on a (signed) Rollin’ Down the River book ($27.96 + shipping), AND you may choose one of the PREMIUM editions below for that price.
If you wish to take advantage of this deal, just say so, and we’ll start the ball rolling (so to speak).
Footnote & Reminder:
* Usually, I’m all for creative and not-expected solutions. For this offer, however, you must identify the ‘correct’ thing that’s different this week in order to qualify. 🙂
This offer EXPIRES at midnight Friday, 4/20.
Special Editions of Rollin’ Down the River
The Foggy River Boys Shenandoah Edition If you ever visited Branson ‘back in the day’, you will likely remember the Foggy River Boys!! (My all-time favorite group!). They have gifted us a certain number of specially-made CDs of their own arrangement/recording of Shenandoah (Across the Wide Missouri), and each of these (signed) special editions has a CD of that song taped to the inside back cover! Great arrangement, beautifully done!
Original Collector’s Editions There are FIVE (of the original 50) numbered, signed editions still available from last Spring. First come, first served.

Rollin’ Down the River Description: This course grows out of a Summer 2016 seven-week exploration/adventure trip (by car) down the entire Missouri River, from its official source in Three Forks, MT, to its confluence with the Mississippi near St. Louis. The course should be of interest to everyone from armchair travelers to history buffs, with lots scenery, photography, geography, culture, fascinating people, and more.
Join us as we experience all the magic along the 2,341-mile path of arguably the most unique river in the world! (And discover why Atchison, KS, was the most unique stop of the trip!)
Math is Not a Four-Letter Word Description: Mathematics, like death, gets a bad press! Mathematics is so much more (and more fun) than times tables, and seemingly random and arbitrary ‘rules’.
This course will explore problem-solving and practical mathematics in a light-hearted, hands-on, and FUN manner. The nature of the course should make it fun for both math/number enthusiasts and math-phobics alike. Brain teasers and games will open the door to re-capturing confidence to attack and solve real world problems using tools at our disposal.
Participants will have fun in a ‘safe’ environment, and learn some useful thinking techniques and practical uses of mathematics.

On August 1, I will officially set out on my Missouri River Project, tentatively entitled Rollin’ on the River. This will be a 45-day trip (by auto) from the source of the Missouri River in Three Forks, MT down to the river’s confluence in St. Charles, MO, just north of St. Louis. For more details, see Rollin’OnRiver.
