Amy, Utah is the home of this year's National. (I know you know this--only kidding, my friend.) I will try my hardest to go--after all there will be no excuse; I am retiring from teaching in June. Will I show anybody? Probably not, but it will be great to see people I ordinarily wouldn't be able to see. I am pumped! HEY!!! Utah is also the home of my favorite NBA team--The Utah Jazz. Bring the Noise. Go Jazz! Penny and Forest in NY (Brando's in the dog house--he LOVES those Lakers!!! <boo-hiss>) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
