Yep, goosebumps here too, Richard.

Slick, glad you're home safe and sound. Hope Max and Speckles aren't giving you the cold shoulder.

GREAT pictures Kelly! I knew somebody would take way better ones than I had.

Staci and others who were stuck with goofy flights. I've only got one thing to say - FLY DIRECT! Ok, ok, so I know that's not entirely possible for everyone, but it sure makes things a lot easier and less stressful when you don't have to worry about connecting flights and such. To me it's worth a little bit more money.

Hope Randi's flight went ok. We were having some pretty bad thunderstorms in Chicago yesterday, so I hope she wasn't delayed.....again....

What happened with the tatoo Staci? Was that done at the "naw-tee" shop that Kelly posted a picture of?

Connie, sorry. I knew I knew your name but I couldn't remember it for the life of me when I was posting. Sad thing is the mind is the first to go.... You are more than welcome to use that beach scene on your computer. Had I known you were such a beach lover, I could have taken tons of pictures for you. Hmmm....gives me an excuse to go back.....

Alexa, I know we didn't get much of a chance to talk, but it was great meeting you and Laura. I find it interesting that you had the typical "spousal view" of what this BBQ was going to be, and you were right along with the other spouses when you were pleasantly surprised by the good time you had.

Well....back to the daily grind for me. Needless to say my boss has been on a rampage all week. I'd like to know who he rants and raves to while I'm gone......
