I have to get to bed but it was nice to see your friendly comments.<BR/><BR/>Went snorkeling today. Wonderful!

I agree completely about missing the internet exchange -- Dave and I are biding our time talking politics and book shopping until your return. Look forward to having you back and seeing more pics from Cali!<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't have gotten the Red Hot Chili Peppers reference -- more of a Zeppelin man myself.<BR/><BR/>Off to Chincoteague tomorrow with the wife, daughter, and in-laws for three days with good seafood and wild ponies. The only ponying my father-in-law says he's doing is going to be up to the bar.
