Good Morning,
Add another name to the "at home" gang. I was close to the top of the
waiting list. Now that it's Sunday, I am resigned to the fact that the call
isn't coming. The good news is that I have lots to work on before next
years event.
My hope is that Tom, my neighbor to the far North brings back some
great material for his workshops. Let me be the first to say it, because I
know it will be a topic over the next few days. Anyone willing to share
tape, video, cd, notes, and tips for next year. IM INTERESTED
Robert
