Hell, I was going to chip in for gas just for the anticipation of con photos
and AAR's with her amongst that band of crazies...

Just imagine the quotes board!

I know I'm glad to be going to Columbus; if I only get to one con...

On the other hand, I've never been to Historicon, Cold Wars, Salute...

For instance, the care not to send to both the List AND the Digest? ;->=

Sorry, not uncommon mistake, but it sometimes leaves a person wondering how
they double-posted. And it's fun to point out, now and then.

Good thought. Need to get the boards first.

But... wait a minute, I thought it was a bad thing for con attendees to
say they were twice as board as last year... ??? ;-p

No, no -- it's more exciting because we're having twice as many boarding
actions.

Come on, everyone should get on board with this! We should form a political
party and make it our plank! Everything should be written in two by four
format and logged for all to see! We may struggle for a while, but soon we'll
be lumbering along quite nicely. We should win the early races by a sliver.
Once we win, we can hold out an olive branch to our foes. Then we can branch
out into other areas. Soon our movement will take root. Who wood want to stop
us? Their bark will be worse than their bite. A corny idea perhaps, but I
think we could work out the knots. Don't go against the grain here, or we will
have to chop you down to size. Once we've suceeded, our founders can leaf the
organization to the next generation. Don't needle us over it, or we may ended
up pining away for the lost opportunity. If we succeed though, you will be
forever green with envy. Perhaps it is nuts to dream so, but it could be the
seed of a future success! Don't be a sap! Pack up your doubts in a trunk and
join us! Together we can dovetail our thoughts into success!

    :-)

Looking forward to meeting you all at the con.

I wood worry about it, but fortunately I have plenty of time
for-rest.  I
really only proposed it on a larch. Maple I only did it fir myself though. You
could scotch the whole idea. Perhaps you wood pecker away at it, but I find
that you'd have to pe nuts to not get a palming effect from it all. It doesn't
take a twigonometry teacher to under stand it. I think it's just a budding new
approach that may soon flower into so much more.
