Pool party at Mike's! Bring your laptops and choice of beverage and we can sit around and run turns...

Never not been tempted, Mike... My bank account doesn't share my feelings, though...

I know and completely understand, Brother. I'm just going to keep teasing you until you do make it one year. [:)]

Brothers, the invitation will be open for a Thread Summit next summer! I'll provide the beverages and high capacity wifi! We will also have 5 bedrooms, so there is always room at the inn. [8D]

Only one problem with this, rjopel and I have found that when we are in the same room playing Federation and Empire at Origins we get less turns done with "sneaker-net" than we did using drop box and on the other side of the world! [;)]ORIGINAL: USS America

Oh heck. I still owe you a dinner over that Army/Navy game. Will still be in-country for at least another year ... okey dokey then. I'll try to get there before next summer, though. I see the pool, but where's the hot tub?ORIGINAL: USS America

The neighbors have a hot tub, and the pool is heated! [:)] The door is always open, John. [8D]

Thanks, Tree. It's a suburb town of Raleigh, named Apex. Only 20 minutes to work. [:)]

Love your house. Hate to hijack, but.
‘Kay, you all know my friend Matt Norton (Mr. infantry). Well, he came by to visit a couple years ago and brought his youngest. Everything was wonderful till my youngest niece Christine shows up with her big eyes and bouncy curls. Make a long story short, he’s going to propose to her this weekend. They are in the area and are going down to Perdido Key and will do the deed in the surf.
Unbeknownst to Matt Jr, Matt sent me a ring that his great grandfather gave to his darling the day before he joined his regiment and went to war. He survived and married Margaret, but that ring has been passed down through the generations. So now I have to do a short stop on Matt Jr’s proposal and hand him something different.
Ring was made in 1916 and it’s breathtakingly beautiful. I’ll take some pictures once it’s on her finger, so ya’ll can see. Won’t look like much, because back then people didn’t have this thing about huge diamonds. But its history goes back to Finland and Lithuania and the Russia of 1916. And I actually get to do the presentation. I feel very, very, humble.
Damn, porterhouse steaks from Moseleys, and some of Espinoza’s best Chilean wine. Damn, what a weekend.
Ciao. John
