I'm so looking forward to meeting ALL of you since we've only had the pleasure of meeting capt. john and Christina so far from LCT ... (oh, and DougW ... can't forget Doug! ;) ). With so many of you that have met (and cruised together) before, I'm hoping that it won't feel like crashing a party! (just teasing, folks)

I'm typing this as one of our cats walks across the laptop keyboard and nudges my hand, demanding attention.

Loon - don't worry, I'm never completely serious either ... as everybody around here can testify! :D
