My Gawd, that's this next weekend, isn't it!??

I can't say I've ever heard you, John, or met you. I would really like to.

Although I have participated a lot in the past, I won't be this time, and I hadn't really planned on attending this year (actually, it snuck up on me!). But if I can hack it, I might try to attend Saturday and catch your act(s).

Mobility problems. Lately, I travel around in an electric wheelchair and I think the thing needs new batteries. Last time I was out in it a few days ago, I darn near didn't make it home. I'll have to see if I can get an appointment with the guy from Care Medical Equipment to come over and install a new set.

I hate to sit there, push on the joystick, and not move. Feel sorta impotent. . . .

And these days, my shoulders aren't up to pushing myself around the Center grounds in my manual chair.

We'll see.
