I was going to type a "10 things I think I think (I remember) from the weekend" but I couldn't remember 10 things

As I said before SC is really just a great guy who livens up the weekends with his stories and jokes.

JG, I can't believe someone kept you up that late on Saturday night \:o As always it was great to see you again, and its good knowing that when I feel like a drunk I just have to look over and I feel better about myself ;\)

Of course it was wonderful to see Mrs. R again, ok and Mr. Babe...the stories they can tell are priceless. Everyone was so thankful that SB FINALLY came out of her shell and was able to take control of the ordering and everything about dinner. And a special thank you to Mr. Babe, when everyone, including Mrs. R said no more drinnks for me, he was there to get me another \:\)

Mr. and Mrs. Cardi, I'm not sure what more I can say about the 2 of them that I haven't already said. Its nice to be able, at 22 years old, to talk to the person you will become in 20 years. I think the movie Spartacus, in all the times we've talked is the only thing we've ever disagreed on. As far as Mrs. Cardi, what a lovely and down to earth woman. I hope I can follow in your footsteps when picking a wife.

Beth, you are a barrel of laughs. Anytime you are around her you know there will be a lot of jokes and a good time being had by all.

Mig and family...3 very friendly people. Mig is a sweetheart in every sense of the word. And I tripled my knowledge of hunting and squirrel recipes by talking to the Col. Becky went through hell and high water (literally) to get there, and basically only stay for one day. But we did find out that she is definitely NOT a morning person ;\) lol

Its always fun when SV shows up, bringing a wig or mustaches. He is a very smart man and the things he remembers are just amazing. He reminds you of the Jeopardy contestants lol.

A special thank you to Don Tomasso for the wine....I did have a glass of that (oh no, does that mean 17 drinks?). That was something you didn't have to do but of course we all appreciated it.


I know a lot of you might not want to say it, but this was the first meeting we had with everyone there since Paul passed away. And for those of you who know me, emotions (which don't involve anger) are usually not my thing but it did make the meeting more special. And of course he always comes up in conversation, about DC's Commisioning skills in Fantasy Hockey to his famous line from our meeting in Somerset "Apparently, a chicken breast is just 2 wings sown together".

Don Smitty and family was greatly missed as were those of you who tried to make it for the first time but could not.

I have never been with a more fun or generous group of people than the ones here.
