I keep planning to drop in on him - he's only something like 75-100 miles away. Perhaps he'll book an early flight out of KC on Wednesday and we can talk the whole way to Las Vegas - and I'll get to meet him first :P

Joe,

You didn't miss the absence of my name. As much as I hate to say it, it's not looking like I will be making the show this year either.

I was confronted with the opportunity to invest in my future and buy another piece of (used) equipment. I decided to do so and justified it by using as much of my liquid resources as I could. That meant no show, but a good long-term business decision.

It is amazing how emotional I get when I think about missing the opportunity again of meeting all of you, who I only know through the typed word. All of you guys and gals have a special place in my heart. We will meet some time. It looks like I may have to bring the "show" to me at some point this year. If I do, it will be quite a show. Nothing but the best for my FRIENDS!!!

David,

I truly hate that you won't be joining us...I was really looking forward to meeting you!

My "day job" has me traveling about the country several times through the year (I'm in Minnesota as I type this), and Kansas City will probably be one of my stops this year. I'll make it a point to go up to St Joe to meet you.

All the best, my friend.

Cody,

Give me a little notice and I will drive down to KC to meet you. It would be great to meet you.

This is getting a bit exciting. The one DSSI had there was really good.

Just no Karioke. The people were good but it was way too loud. That was not why all were there.

Sad to say but I'll have to be missing Las Vegas this year. I am just back, and heading back over, to the hospital. My husband has had a heart attack (he's only 50!), without the usual symptoms. Had the attack about 3 weeks ago, and just felt crummy, like he had the flu, but without the usual symptoms. I've been nagging to get him to go see the DR, and finally this morning he said he would. Called me at work and told me about the heart attack and I thought he was kidding! But I guess not, and it looks like he'll also be looking at bypass surgery, so it really doesn't look like I'll be leaving town for anything in the next few months.

So you guys all have a great time, and post when you get back about all the great classes:(( you attended, and hopefully I'll be back next year.

Cindy,

Sorry to hear about your husband's situation.

I think I can speak for all of us, in saying, we hope your husband has a successful operation and a speedy recovery.

First things first. The ARA show will be there, year after year.

All the best,
