This morning I made reservations for my next trip home. I leave Guam on May 9 at 6:35 PM and arrive in Portland at 10:09 PM. I have to be at my daughter's graduation in Virginia on May 14. I leave to return to Guam on June 20 but I have to lay over in Los Angeles until June 27!

I am staying that long for a few important events including the wedding of an old friend. I will also be able to work in a few other things like the Mystic Sea Music Festival and Sinsull's monthly music party, I hope.

So, here are the requests. Amos, ol' buddy, pal, friend, and gentleman of long standing respect and honor... Can I bunk in with you and your lovely wife while waiting for my ride to Guam? Or can you recommend a quiet stretch of beach where I can sleep?

Charley, can you send me Meg Frost's address? I wonder if she's willing to take on an old volunteer for work at the festival?

I may have other requests as time goes by. You may want to bail out now.
