"Moving the metal", offered Acura TL Navigator drive to Syracuse day after Thanksgiving. Grabbed it. Did lunch with bro Bill at Dinosaur BBQ http://www.dinosaurbarbque.com/ bottom right in picture. Popular fine food biker bar with blues performers. Elvis is scheduled for April 1, 2005- get your reservations early.

Bill has been doing IT for Rural Development of US Dept of Agriculture http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/ny/ and is going to be expanding to provide computer services for the other 2 sister groups NRCS and FSA. You can see the Compaq server pointed out in upper left along with some of the neat connections in the clean room on the upper right. If you see him don't ask him to explain the connections! Threw in an old Cessna 172 that he flew out to Albany in 1976 , back in his Gyrocopter days when he worked for Army at Hancock Field. I co-piloted it back to Albany with Kathy- when pregnant with Shawn. We all survived. (did I already tell that story)
