Phyl,

I enjoyed your column and the picture in the newsletter.  You "rawk"!

 ;D YES, Phyl's article was great!! But I wished EVERYONE would know what an inspiration she is to all of us who have had the pleasure of meeting her and bruching with her... Phyl has given so much of her time to the ANA forum and is a frequent caller (can she cash in on her frequent caller miinutes!?!>)-- We are so fortunate to have her!!! And what a nice photo of Phyl and the "Cheeky Bloke", Ian... ::)

Hope to see them both at our next brunch May 4...

Phyl -

I am so jealous that you don't live around me  :(

We'll have to plan a brunch during the 2009 symposium so those of us who don't live near you can spend some quality time with you also  :)

I hate to sound like a broken record, but I STILL haven't received my newsletter.  If it's not here by the end of the week I'm going to contact the ANA and ask them to send me a new one.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Joe -

don't drink beer myself, but will be more than willing to raise a glass of whiskey with any and all AN members in Chicago in '09 - or do brunch, or whatever. 

Count me in  ;D

It's a date Joef - but JD is a little too rough for me; I'll be drinking Crown Royal  ;D

Phyl - thanks for the offer to send me one of your copies of "Notes" but in light of the article about you, I think you need to keep all of them.  I just emailed the ANA and asked them to resend my copy.

Yeah, congrats on the article from me, too, Phyl!  I opened up the newsletter, and I said,  'Hey, there's Phyl and her Cheeky Bloke!"  And a handsome couple they are, too!
