Kay, I think you mean Greg, not me.

I'm pretty sure Sara just mentioned me to see if I am still around.  ;)

Steve -

where HAVE you been???  After the Jersey vacation, I'll be going to Seattle for business and was going to offer to come to Portland and buy you a drink or dinner.  Then I realized just how far it is from Seattle to Portland  :P  Yes, I AM geographically challenged  ::)  But if you want to come to Seattle, I'm still buying.

Very nice poem, Grega  :D 

Kaybo, you are SO right.  Lori & I won't be grounded at all without you.  We'll just have to start planning that roadtrip to Texas!!!

Catherine - it's just my luck that you won't be in town.  Bummer!!  :(  I'm still hoping to get to the ANA Symposium in Boston next June, hopefully you'll get there too and we can meet then.

To everyone else, thanks for the well wishes.

OMG!  Guess I shouldn't post when I should be headed to bed.

The symposium is in Ohio in 2011, isn't it??  Guess Boston was just wishful thinking on my part.

Good catch, Kaybo  ;D

Well my vacation is almost over - flying home on Sunday - but had a great time at the shore.

I got to meet Anna Maria and her husband Dan for dinner yesterday evening in Red Bank and I also got to meet Wendy and one of her daughters at the beach in Sea Girt today.

Unfortunately Lori was unable to make it because her girls are a little under the weather.  It would have been nice for us both to meet Wendy - since she was the very first recipient of our Official BAHA Recovery Kit. 

I guess that Lori and I will just have to plan a girls' weekend in Texas with Kaybo once that nice, new house is done being built  ;D

Wendy and I took a few pictures - in our bathing suits  :o with "beach hair" and if they won't look too bad one of us will post one. 

I was hoping to meet Debbi tomorrow, but I don't think time will allow.

I'm heading to Seattle on business the first week in August, so if anyone lives in the area and wants to meet for dinner, lunch, or just a drink, please PM me.

Glad you guys had fun - without me... :(

Sorry we couldn't make it up there this time.  We're still working on getting rid of whatever ailment we've all got.  I guess it's just a cold, but we've all been feeling pretty yucky all week.  Jan, I guess you'll just have to come back next summer.  Or maybe come to Virginia Beach!

Hope you had a great time and I'm glad you got to meet up with some of the "others".  Have a safe trip back!
