You and I should go bowling, 23...

..cuz we're the exact same way in restaurants.. always put the screaming kids next to us.. Oh well - everyone has a purpose in life.. Apparently mine is to hear screaming kids in restaurants and listen to constant yakking in movie theaters..

Now, regarding that trip of yours.. I'm a BIG proponent of convincing people to do stuff they REALLY wanna do, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.. So, plan on my bugging you to go on your trip from time to time..

You still doing the model trains? 23, I'll never forget.. second grade.. getting my first HO scale train set for my birthday.. on a school day.. and the AGONIZING wait until 3pm to get out of school and haul butt back to the house to set it up.. I played with that train set constantly, for years... in the 80's, as an adult, I tried to put it all back together, properly since I had money, but my little Beagle got into the area it was set up and basically pulled a Godzilla on my little train set town.. So, I boxed it all up and haven't done anything with it since.. but, its still there and I know it all still works.. One of these days....
