Olivia: Andi answered the camera question. I love it! Big 2" LCD view finder which is wonderful for my aging eyes. 7.1 megapixals which is wonderful for my ongoing fantasy that I am a photographer & would want to blow up & print some of my pictures.

Donna: so sorry that you & Alan were out of town during my small window of a visit to Tucson. Andi spoke so well of you guys! Next time for sure!
But - really!? - Boston Baked Beans (or beads) with steak fajitas? Go figure. I have to say, however, that the beans weren't that bad. Not great, but not bad. Just that when in Tucson, I didn't expect them.

Ray: You are too nice a guy by at least half. We can't wait to see you & your beautiful bride!
Speaking of that Bar-B-Q, any LCTers going to be in the NYC metro area the weekend of Sept 17/18?
Let me know via private mail. maybe we can turn this into a NY area LCT get together. (Maybe I should have asked Andi first?..... nah! Where is the fun in that?)

Doug

As long as he cooks and cleans up, I would be glad to have any of you join us. Even if he didn't cook and clean, you are welcome.

Donna, thanks for your kind words. I get two weeks off from work. Yippee.
