Come on back, Trekhawk! You didn't get to see much of this part of the country, did you?
BIAK and Sg, didn't know you guys are moving to Portland. Nice for you all--I like Portland a lot-- but sad for us. Better have another party or two before you go. Maybe a winter breakfast party....
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
