Jeff,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts (although that's not ever been a
problem for you ;-) Despite my absence, (I was at both a professional
meeting and a wedding at the same time as GSSP), I was with you in
spirit and am enjoying reading on GSSP and now TAC_South just what my
spirit was doing when it was gone. Glad it was imbibing at Chez-
Gortatowsky Wicks along with the whole crew. I'm a bit insulted you
didn't notice it there but spirits can be a bit flighty.

Sounds like you got the whole gamut of weather from rain to clear sky
and had plenty to do while it was raining.

Looking forward to next year in spirit and body if I can swing it.

Curt
