Good to be hearing from you Jon!
While you were having your hospital/coronary adventure, I was traveling back East with family to attend my Father's burial. From a personal perspective, it seemed too soon; it was a poignant reminder that none of us completely control our comings and goings.
That said, at the [relatively] young age of 51, Lori and I are going to be making some changes as well. One of those is to be passionate about the things that give us joy.
Our little meetup in Tahoe was one of the best times we have had in years, and so we will be doing another later this year in Tahoe, or some other mountain-y resort area the [ACBA?] brain-trust settles on. If for no other reason than it was so enjoyable [and educational].
Two things that we have been asked about is doing a seminar for new/potential users, and having a roving meetup in a airport hub town, so we are looking at doing something of that sort in San Diego for the folks who want airport and sand. Might even throw in sailing lessons and sand volleyball [ala the Topgun scene].
Hope to see you and Bev at one or both of those Jon, and we can raise a glass to our good fortune at being alive!
