Thanks all. We met a lot of people at the conference we hadn't met in person before -- but we still missed a few.
We just got back, having been gone almost two weeks. We were 27 miles short of 3000 miles on this trip.
Turning 65 was good. It was the best birthday I've ever had.
We went deep into the Chequamegon wilderness on a duck hunting and smallmouth fishing trip for my 18th birthday, but forgot the oars for the boat. I got my induction notice to be a happy member of the Marine Corps on my 21st birthday (Dodged the draft instead! Did six years in the Navy). I missed my 25th birthday completely by going over the international date line.
Yes, this was good indeed, and very rememberable -- especially the part that Sunil played.
Ken

Lynda gets all credit! Her idea, I was merely a vessel, or a shepherd, or...whatever!
Good times!

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Rainman, Ken's shirt is not made of PVC, so I question your ability to make good on your claim.

I'm just hoping he doesn't want me wearing it when he dots the ‘i‘.

I was originally going to suggest placing a PVC fleck where the "I" is wanted and the shirt be worn in the post, but hey...it was your birthday!....  Cat..at least I didn't suggest dotting the "i" on your hat......

Älä ammu uudestaan! Jos et ole, en tee kala päätä muhennos. (In the language of my mother's distant cousin, Lauri Rapala.) Todd is busy panicking. I talked to him for quite a while by phone just after we arrived at the conference. His building project at the ponds isn't going quite as well as he had hoped -- and he has a big party scheduled there next weekend. Plus, law enforcement has apparently kept a lot fewer drunks on the roads of WV these days, and that is keeping him extremely busy. Now I'm hungry. Time to go make some mind and body warming kalamojakka ( mojakka).
