Char: yes, that’s who I mean. I’ll let her know you’re president of her fan club grin She’s single you know…
Hmmmmmm, Cleveland IS sounding better!
Well, then, I guess those of us out West will be munching on some fine barbecue - by Ko. And of course, be surrounded by excellent company and conversation…oh, and BEER. 
golden address, but closer to wheat ridge/lakewood than golden (applewood to be exact). yeah flights to denver can be pretty expensive, but there are usually some pretty cheap fares on fronteir and ATA.
Hey, I’m a poor college student but that hasent stopped me from traveling before…I’ll just pull the old sleep in my car routine(did it in OH this past Feb)…So, uh…where we goin’?
Avoids - Damn straight it is!!! grin
Please tell Ms. Katie (that’s “Southern charm”, of which I have an abundance) that I’m also single and definitely up for email correspondence, an exchange of pics, and whatever else might be in the offing…
BUMP
cuz I think if none of the plans can be finalized, next summer may be better. Besides, if all goes well, I may just be in New York in August of next year!
Patricia...
Patricia: cool! you can ride with me and Demo Dick. (and Avoids if he can behave)
Ko, myself, Michelle and Demo Dick - oh, and can’t forget Avoids. That is if you don’t mind me and my “precontest” anxiety.
But what kinda beer is in New York, anyway? Patricia :-)
Well, we can deal with your pre-contest jitters I’m sure. Avoids will just have to forgo his free pizzas for a while so that you can avoid temptation!
Saranac is my beer of choice. Brewed in Utica NY, not far from where I grew up. GREAT stuff!
Hey T-Rev!!! We're heading to your house, get your grill fired up!
Welllll, if we have it at the farm here, Michelle won’t have to worry about me behaving in the car!
Can I bring my saddle and try out your horses? pleeeeease?
Sure you can bring your saddle. We have hunter/jumpers and western reining horses. I have an unbroken two year old that I am saving for you. I am worried about Demo coming here though. My neighbor raises sheep!
My interest in sheep is not at all prurient. I’m only interested in mutton sandwiches and lamb chops. Well, I guess your neighbor DOES have something to worry about after all! You DO have a grill, right? 
Hot damn! Did someone say, lamb? Like, leg of lamb? Lamb stew? And you know what? Ko just loves cooking up a nice, juicy leg of lamb. And I LOVE to eat it. wicked smile
Sounds good to me! Until recently I was training two completely green horses… it’s always an adventure!
