To be fair, just because Bill and I live five 4 miles apart does not mean
that we communicate other people's travel plans to one another in a timely
fashion. If you would like to make an appointment to come fly with me you
must contact me directly and give at least three months notice. Otherwise,
I may decide to go scuba diving Florida instead. I may not have seen your
all carbon hub but did see plenty of bikini's many of which were smaller
than your hub.

I suppose I'll be seeing you in Guam for your next regional? It does offer
better site-seeing than Atlanta in November.

 (tongue-in-cheek here as well)
