Sorry it's taken me so long to post. I hope I smiled and faked it so no one noticed on Saturday that I was in the depths of my St. Patrick's Day Blue Funk (and this year was a convergence of a whole lot of underlying stuff) -- some people have trouble with the Christmas or end of the year holidays; I have trouble with St. Patrick's Season. I think I've snapped out of it -- I'm out of bed and dressed and everything. And getting stuff done. Anyway, we had quite a turnout! Including Brian Dunn whom I haven't seen for close to ten years. The crew was me, Hutch, Ranger1, Charlie, Dianne, Bill & Gina Dunlap, a full complement of Finns -- Jim, Gail, Emily, and Amanda, Don Hale, Bill & Carol, Mike Modern, Jeff Keller & Persis, April & Eric, Justine for a little bit, Bruce MacIntyre,and Gail& Janice.
