WYSIWYG will be traveling - she is wondering if there are any mudcatters near where she will be traveling and if they can host her while she is in the area

I'm a little less than an hour south of Louisville, ~16 miles from I65. We have flop room for my buddy Susan and company...just remember that the upstairs in not air conditioned and it's nicer after mid September. Also, I'll be travelling a bit myself this fall.

Mary, is your hour southwards in the direction of Bowling Green? I'd love to meet you! PM me a town and I'll check maps....

Bardstown is southeast of Louisville. You have to go from Louisville to Bowling Green to Nashville on I65 and we are ~16 miles east of I65. Bernheim Forest is near the interstate and is a beautiful place for a picnic.

I was in Nashville two weeks ago (at the Wild Horse Saloon no doubt) but I didn't have time to call Kim. Also, my cousin lives in the same town in Tennessee as Giac!

Susan, would that I could put you up in Indianapolis, but for the rest of the year it's going to be impossible.

Dorris has breast cancer, and is now under chemo. She'll have surgery pprobably in early to middle October, followed by recuperation and radiation for some months.

Under the circumstances, having even agreeable house guests like yourself and Hardy wouldn't work at this time.

The dates are firming up at least. I should leave NW PA on October 30, and need to arrive in Sewanee by Nov. 2 or 3.

The trip back looks like departing Sewanee about the 12th-15th of November.

Susan:

If you do end up hitting Indianapolis, I'd like to know about it and be able to see you all. Although we can't host you, I could surely manage to attend a get-together, and there's a likelihood Dorris could too.

Thanks, I will. Since I will be travling alone, I'd love to see some friendly faces, but on the other hand it mitigates against going too far off track, not having a second driver. So I dunno yet. :~)

Date: 25 Oct 04 - 11:42 PM

I seriously doubt I can detour. I'll have been camping out in various places doing intense ministry stuff, for nearly three weeks and with various health issues to manange and zero budget-- without gracious Mudcatters I'd be van camping at WalMart between conferences, and I've packed for that in case it turns out that way. So..... I expect to be pretty beat by the time I reach P-Vine Harbor. It's just 5 hours from there to home, so that's where I'll be heading from there, direct. So.......... an hour and a half to Bobberooni's, or 5+ hours up to our place--- hm, that's a head-scratcher....

I'll be at a retreat at Olmsted Manor in PA if anyone needs to leave me a message. Even if they don't know who you are talking about (because you don't know my last name), their hospitality rep (Tom) can make an announcement referring to Mudcat and I can get the message from the desk. They even have email!

Thanks, but you see, all that stuff IS my life.... it means a lot to me to come home and find it in good order... promises kept, priorities right. Not tending details due to worry..... I decided to take the trip at MY speed, and I NEVER like to leave on a trip before 11 AM! Just think of all the stuff I'll wish I had taken, that I have remembered to take because I was still here schmoozing around! :~) The first stop is only 2-3 hours away.

Nothing I care about will happen till I get there to care about it, anyhow!

So if you're checking in here Wizzy or Mario is doing his thing or whatever, then I am about 45 miles SE of Columbus. It appears you are going through Columbus on Saturday??? At least that's what I see on your "latest" schedule?? Are you coming down I-71 or I-77 to I-70 and across? I can try and do lunch somewhere with you...???

Wizzy? Mario?? Bueller?? Bueller??

I'll keep checking back.....Sorry I havent been on but the joint is out of hand with the fockin' election crap anymore.

Well not quite Bill..........

Susan and I talked on the phone from Hollowfox's place and we were going to meet today for lunch on her way to Mary's. She called when she left Youngstown and we figured to meet between 1:30 and 2:00 in Columbus...........didn't work!

I didn't give her our cell number and she doesn't have one, but we got to the meeting place at 1:45 and left about 3:15-3:30 as Susan hadn't made it. Got home about an hour ago and had a message from Mary in Ky that said she'd just heard from Susan (oddly at about 3:17 I think she wrote) from somewhere outside Columbus.......Anyway, we missed connection.

Susan, I am really sorry not to have seen you.....We had the kids, dogs....you could have met the whole clan!   I really hate knowing we gave up at about the same time you were talking to Mary!!! ANyway, we'll make it good another time!

It was all my fault, Spaw. I was too tired to be in the road and got really stupid. At 3:17 I was a good hour away from our spot, but at that moment I thought it was BEHIND me and that I had gone the wrong way-- when it actually lay ahead an hour's drive. It's farther from H'fox's to that spot than we thought-- and I should have eaten sooner and not waited till we hooked up-- maybe my brain would have been working better. But I apologize for inconveniencing you all, and I hope you had some fun together anyhow. I'll mail you the item Hollowfox gave me for you, if you'll PM me the mailing address.

Another time, I hope! Would have loved to meet the whole lot of you... guess I'll have to eat the Halloween candy I'd packed up for the boys, darn...
