I have got to see Barry's Family. I canna believe that God would allow him to reproduce................LOL. I am going to try and take an extra day that week so I can leave on Thursday night instead of Friday after work. That way I can collapse on Friday morning........LOLA. How the hell am I going to sleep without you in the next bunk snoring and making a racquet like a one lung steam bilge pump, Barry????????

Jed, you have to make it, pal. You and Mario, and all the rest would make this one hell of a gathering. And could we make some great music. Now if I can just find a way to get Dave Swan to join his bride (Pam, you just have to come again!!!!), Rick to keep his part of the deal, and Patterson to let me pick him up on the way,..........and we could have a helluva good time and a bored meeting of Patterson, Fielding, Swan and Lane, Layabouts at Large and for Hire. I want to have a quorum so we can vote on a new member. I am proposing Dan Milner be added to the Bored of Defectors as a full padnuh. I have observed his technique and find his ability to layabout to be second to none. And his wife is, and possess', the appropriate amount of character to qualify as a spouse of a layabout. I knew she was right when he and I disappeared to do a little fishing, and she just gave us this "Boys and their toys" smirk.
