Pete M. Pinewoods = 'Heaven on Earth', 'Fiddlers Green'. An idyllic place that methinks I've only visited in my richest dreams; for can such beauty really exist? An enchanted land of tall pines standing on the softest carpet of pine boughs. Quite breezes, charming birdsong, and rippling waters engulf the senses. And there are people. Not the people of our world; but strange, lovely, and gentle souls who sing and dance and play beautiful music. They share, they teach, they learn, they enjoy, they love. Back to the real world. Pete, Pinewoods is the camp of the Country Dance and Song Society (www.CDSS.org). It is near Plymouth MA. Throughout the summer they have a variety of 'weeks'; each devoted to dance and music. I've attended 'Folk Music' week in 1990, 91, and 97. I plan hope to attend this year.

BBJfla, you're adding good stuff. In a few more days we should be able to write a precise specification for what we want!

Barry Finn, I like your idea too. We've bare-boated once in the Virgin Islands. Only 41', but I could apapt to something larger.

Helen, have we taken this to an extreme? Or do you think we are still on track?

I have planned many a projects, programs, activities, events, business ventures, and even military operations. I think our digital brainstorming will produce results. Let's all keep storming.

Happy chords, Phil
