Sam, that's a pretty good idea. Dan is usually asking me to do events for him that are down here, closer to us, I could ask him if he wants to share doing events there, on a regular basis. However, set up of these events might be rough, and it would probably be we do our events, and they do theirs, because i know that Dan is super busy and turns down events quite often. Hmmmm let me think this over. I like the idea. Thanks so much for thinking that and sharing it. : ) Terri Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you always know they are there.
