I'm delighted to hear that a good turnout is expected. Nora & I would love to be with you but we both have bronchitis & can't believe that would be a welcome contribution to the event. We sincerely hope we'll have better luck next time.

The editor in me sincerely thanks everyone who has shown Burns the respect implicit in spelling his name correctly instead of putting an apostrophe in it.

Best wishes to all,
Ian

Ian,

Sorry we're going to miss you. We'll raise a toast to you and Nora, and the guys who could have made it but can't.

Hope you both feel and get better soon.

Got the okay, to cut out early on my job, tomorrow. Checked, today all the fluids and tire pressure on the truck to be ready for the long haul to MD. Got my mapquest route ready, too. (Haven't advance yet to a GPS.) Now I just need to get to bed as 5:45 comes around mighty early.
