You're right Russ, but some of us try to plan ahead a little-- sometimes
it works, sometimes it doesn't. Remember our wanderings in Chicago? I sent
you all on the "El" to a restaurant that wouldn't take us, but we wandered
into another that was just great-- aptly named the "Bella Vista".
I also remember wandering around with a crowd of Canadians (and wannabes)
in Phoenix, getting separated, and never seeing some of you again. Perhaps
you're still wandering around there, enjoying the great weather....
