... Katie. Sorry not to be here sooner (and to have apparently missed the gathering in Andy's chat room). The last couple of days were hectic again, travelling to/from Colorado and squeezing in two long work days in the process, and with less than 3 1/2 hours sleep two nights in a row. Got in very late last night, crashed and slept until 3:00 this afternoon!

Went to the Marin County Fair with my two youngest kids and their SO's tonight and had a nice time.

Did manage to run out to Black Hawk, CO, for a short chip run Thursday night and picked up some of those pretty Mardi Gras chips (a few others, too). Black Hawk is a neat little town (I just love the stone buildings). Couldn't find a good poker game, though (probably a good thing -- if I had, I wouldn't have gotten ANY sleep that night).

Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks! ----- jim o\-S
