Ants, bless your little pea picking heart.

I truly appreciate your offer and know that you mean it but there is no way that I intend on bogging anyone down on this trip. I am middle aged (if you live in Russia where everyone seems to live past 100 or at least it feels like it). My definition is that I am too old to want to take care of anyone anymore, fulltime, as I have done all my life BUT too young to want anyone to take care of me. I might join you up there to see the fireworks one night though. I do drive to AK and MGM and am available to take a couple of folks in that direction on the days I plan to be there or to take folks to or from DTD or Boardwalk etc. I will even pick up and deliver water and such if anyone wants.
If I should feel a sudden urge to 'end it all' I will join you on the ToT but I would not hold my breath waiting for me. The hot seat at Millionaire and the ride through Atlanta is as much as my heart can stand.
Mac, I have a feeling that you must have special friends at Sports, as do I, as we both seem to get the very best rooms. Do you send them Christmas cards too?
Luster, how wonderful!!! Now you just lock that boy in the room like you did last time and you and I will get together for a visit sometime when we are both there. Heck, bring the kid with. I like kids, even older boy type ones.
bpmorley, my tone is usually 'tongue in cheek' but they do not have an icon for that.
aubriee, I do think I remember it being AK that the can of corn thing happened. Is it not odd what sticks in the mind and what does not?? Did you also notice the 'banned' lanyard?? I bought a dozen of them and only have a couple left as I gave most of them away. They are now collectors items.

I like the idea of a can or corn reminding ourselves not to take ourselves too seriously or demanding that others be exactly like us. (how boring)
I am getting excited about the trip and even if something happens and I do not get to go it will be fun dreaming. Thanks for dreaming along with me you all!!
