Hey - this is the "snowbird" (Cape Coral, FL and Cape Cod) - been thinking about the get together and hope everyone had a great time.  Some day our schedules will mesh and I'll get to meet everyone in the northeast.

On my camera, dear Capt'n.  Now, amongst all of the apt. move mess, I have to find the cord to upload the pics... forthcoming shortly!

As for those that attended the brunch, OMG! :)  It was wonderful to see dear friends and finally get to meet new ones. The private room worked out great for us, Bill (our dear host) was so accommodating to us (and yes, Jane, he lost out on money with us!), and what do I say about our dear Gil!?!  Katie, those apple dumplings went right to my fat hips!

Christine, Richard and Lucy, what a pleasure to meet you all!  Thrilled you were able to make it and as you can see, just a very laid back brunch... and too much food, as always. A true "bang for the buck".  As for the rest of the "brunch veterans", was a thrill to see you all.

Next Brunch:  Beginning August, right after the symposium... so those that can't attend the symposium will get updates from those that do.  Katie, will chat shortly regarding travel plans so hopefully we can coordinate!

What can I say? Another successful "Best Coast" brunch! :D

psssst, hey Capt'n.... possible get-together in Philly?  Thoughts?  Plans for pirat-i-tude in Philly?  I got a treasure chest of gold coins should local police decide to throw us off the plank for be-hav-iour!
