Rita, we're going to spend all our vacation time in England this year, so will miss all you folks at the Getaway. I'm usually too busy in November to travel anywhere also, so we might miss the 2006 event also. But see what you can do to get it moved back to October for 2007, OK?

Gary, don't worry about an Alaska fix. KT and Ebbie are headed your way again this year. And I am proud as punch that you have taken on the "Iditarod" song. Anybody that can sing the Iditarod song can certainly bamboozle a few smart alecky women who think they can get the better of the Getaway men. Teach that song to Big Mick and Amos, sounds like they could use some help.

Best wishes,
Mike
