Dear Barbara -- Thanks for all you do to make our virtual community seem a lot more real. Toot, toot, indeed! Like RiB, I checked out the profiles and photos before the Getaway to see who all these neat people were who were coming. Nice to be able to say hi to them (and you) by name.

Now Kat, the idea of "Lane, Fielding, Patterson, and Swan" strikes fear in my heart. Imagine them around a conference table, wearing suits..... Nope, don't! Actually, it reminds me of one of my all-time favorite New Yorker cartoons, showing the door of a law firm. The door sign read: Dolan and Murphy, Attorneys at Law (formerly Jimmy and Slats, folksingers).

Thanks again, Barbara. Happy gigs, plays, and holidays! Kath
