Gill, a PM is a Personal Message. It is a private messaging system within the 'Cat. Look at the top of this page. You will see a box labled "Quuick Links". Click on the down arrow and a menu of options will appear. One of them is "Send A Personal Message". Click on it and then click on the word "GO". The rest is pretty self explanatory.

The boys must be in the car and on their way from the airport. They'll be here soon.

You know, I've always thought the first stop on a trip sets the tone, or maybe the standard, by which the trip should be measured. That being the case I have a certain responsibility to them and their future hosts. Maybe I should set a low standard to make it easier on the other hosts. If the food is bad, the sleeping arrangements uncomfortable and things overall bad then the other hosts will have an easier time making them comfortable. Plus the boys will have some good stories to tell back home. "Ugh," I can hear them saying, "You should have seen what that guy in Maine made for us to eat!" There is a dramtic shudder before the speaker continues, "And the bed seemed to have nails in it!"

Hmmm, this will take some thought....
