Folks - Please keep an eye out for the Summer of '04. It seems to have disappeared. Reminds me of the olden days as a kid when summer was never long enough. Soooo much stuff going on that the time justs gets away from us I guess. Mark, I haven't been ignoring you. I have tried to call a couple of times, but I guess I missed you. I am starting to wonder if the "gathering" is going to happen this time around. I do, however, believe I might be making a trip back east in the not too distant future, and might be able to hook up with you and Joe if I do. That would leave Brian as the only member hereof that I haven't had face time with. I'll just have to make that happen.

Speaking of pie, which I haven't, in a week or so, I am planning on harvesting some pawpaws and taking a stab at creating a pawpaw pie. I'll keep you all posted on that. Speaking of stabs, which I have, and this is kind of a far reach, we are only one short month away from International Talk Like A Pirate Day. This ranks right up there with most other major holidays I think. Click on over to http://www.talklikeapirate.com and have a looksee. Lots O' great stuff there, Matey. Arrr!

Be careful and good
