Brother Dave and I met up in Joplin last week for a bite of lunch and visitation. It was a great time of fellowship and discovery. We discussed the imminent return of one of our own to the Real America in the not too distant future. We certainly are looking forward to that. No tellin' what might happen then.

Welcome now those longer days of summer. More daylight hours in which to get things done, or just plain enjoy the sights. I have to confess that I am definitely not a warm weather person, but it is nice to have a chance to hit the trails on my bike again. Not sure my legs agree with that.

If you happen to read this, please contact at least one member of the group and let them know that hibernation has officially ended and it is high time we make known our presence here.

Be happy and careful
