I would cancel any Vermont trips in winter too, Donna. (Couldn't resist 
the piling-on ;-)  Hey, I'll keep my nose to the ticker to see when that 
shindig is getting underway. 

It sure was swell breaking bread with 'ole pal Scott Fybush, Garrett 
Wollman and Mike Fitzpatrick on Friday over there in the "fancy Vermont" 
town of Stowe.  In the "upper village" no less.  Over ten years on this 
list and I'd not met our moderator yet.  It was way overdue and great to 
just sit there and talk about radio.  And radio.  And radio.  We Vermont 
residents only get to eat that well when friends make the trek.  Then, 
you get to just sit there in drink in all of the stories about running 
water, electric light, and outhouses in houses and such. <g>
