See, Heidi, things are different down here.  lol.  jk, jk, jk. (man, I seem 
to be saying that a lot, lately).

And, keep in mind, this was a Florida ride.  I wonder where the ole biddies 
were?  Well, I can tell you, if I'm the ole biddy, I wasn't there.  Alas, 
wife had to fly out of town (she's a grandmother, first time with one of her 
own kids, from another marriage).  She's been a step-grand mother (is there 
such a thing?) with one of mine, from a previous marriage (how many you got, 
Howard?), but, this one's kind of cool for her.  You'll never see a better 
looking grandma anywhere.  We start out young, down here in the South and we 
kind of like it that way.

Anyway, I'm so sorry I missed this ride because Kim Williams is one of the 
top notch ride managers we got down here and we got a bunch.

Don't ever miss a Southeast ride if you get the chance.  I won't say they're 
the best in the world, cause I never really leave the South (there's some 
warrants out for me up North put out by one of my ex's), but, I can't see a 
ride giving a person anything more than what we have to offer down here.  
Ya'll come back now, ya hear?

cya,
Howard (LBL and Biltmore's coming up, sign up real quick; bet Biltmore's 
filled up already)
