Pictures.....where are the pictures?

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Hey Gang,

That was a lot of fun. Can't wait for the next one.

If we can keep names and occupations confidential...that'd be peachy :-)

Just trying to limit google results :-)

HAL 9000 is sad to not have been able to go. I was wrapping up an experiment at 7:30 that night and got out at 8:30. :(

Next time.

And yes... using our VJ handle should be enough for those that like it that way.

Wishing you ten-fold that which you wish upon all others.
