Crap. I don’t know where my head was at. Kim is working 3-11 on Friday, and the in-laws are leaving on a 4-day weekend tomorrow, and anyway, Evan has a baseball game at 1700, and Leah has a birthday party from 1700 to 2100. Guess I’ll have to be in two places at once.

Alas, I’ll have to miss the sequel of HGW.
Here’s where being a nurse with odd hours sucks.

Jon, since I may not get another chance to run into you in person, just wanted to say again that it was a pleasure to meet you and spend an evening over a few beers, and laugh my *** off at all the outrageous stuff that comes out of your head. Godspeed you home to the wife and kid, and if you’re ever heading up north again, keep me informed so I can stick my nose in, maybe we can get another chance to toast the hobos, and maybe even give you another hair-raising 2-G’s ride in the Escort!

Sir, it was an honor.

Pete, the pleasure was all mine!!! What a Blast!!! I just got off the horn with Hev and He's going to pick me up on Friday and we're just gonna kick about and play it by ear. I've been offered a full time position up here, so you may be seeing me sooner then you really want to!!!! Hev has invited me spend the night on his front porch drinking rum cocktails with those little umbrella's, flipping thick Pennsy steaks, watching Amish buckboards run up and down the road, and running some postwar trains. Could life get any better?:D If something breaks loose for you and Kim, give us a call!!!! PS Delta said "no" to the lantern on the plane, but my other friend who drove up here from MS is going to carry it back with him, and I really feel better about that. :D It's a beauty!!

Sorry boys,

"I'd rather be in Philly." WC Fields?

For my son's wedding in fact. I head down tomorrow am for the rehearsal and then hanging out while my family arrives. If you go to Strasburg, have a great time.

Just finished work and haven't even packed yet. I have to strap a bed I made for them on the car at 7:30 and the I'm off for a noon rehearsal.

Ta ta.
Will

Pennsy, still the Standard, or whatever.

Laccaster is pretty near the Water Gap if I remember correectly. My sister lives quite a ways into the state in Bloomsburg. I can see myself passing by there on the way from the airport to her house. 8)

I'm psyched that I'm graduating from this nightmare course tomorrow. Is there a Santa Fe steamer in my future?
Do I really need another engine?
