>>Tomorrow I'm packing for the long ride up to Vermont for the Long Trail 
>>Festival (http://www.longtrailfestivalvt.com) for my book's first public 
>>airing.
>>
>>  Alas, alack! My literary, goat-cheese-fearing adventure buddy "THEE" 
>>Clyde cannot come along. He went and got hisself some kidney stones, silly 
>>man. He tells me he can't stand that adventure without meds, and WITH meds 
>>he's a babbling idjit. I actually thought that aspect might be kind of 
>>funny, you know, to trot him out periodically to liven things up when the 
>>party died down.
>>;-)
>>(Send him a note if so inclined, he may have surgery next week).
>>
>>The VT trip will take me two days driving from NC, and my '03 hiking buddy 
>>Itchyfoot and wife Lupe have invited me to stop in PA on the way up to VT. 
>>So, woo-hoo! I get to see that old crank Itchy again. That should be a 
>>trip.
>>
>>Then, in Rutland, I'm expecting a mini-Ruck, with free camping, music, 
>>talks and promised attendance by listers Marty Fors, Grey Owl, Teej, my 
>>beloved proofers Mrs. Gorp and The Old Ridge Runner, "Gabby" Art Cloutman, 
>>Suz Buchannan and more characters I met on my '03 hike, such as Blue Jay, 
>>Buddha, Juke and others.
>>
>>I deliver my talk Saturday at 2:30 PM at the Dairy Barn (seems apropos for 
>>a Wisconsin gal?) at the state fairgrounds.
>>
>>Monday, I hope to skate up to Mount Mansfield for a look at the VT high 
>>point once again.
>>
>>If anyone else is in the area and would like to DRIVE up Mansfield (no more 
>>of this walking foolishness!) Monday, or stop by Rutland over the next 
>>weekend, let me know.
>>
>>By the way, you all are in the book. I have thanked AT-L in my 
>>acknowledgements, and Ryan, if you would send me your address offline, I 
>>have something for ya. I can't tell you because it's a surprise, LOL.
