Not exactly what TO'M said we would be getting at the PTC roadshow.

This is just embarrassingly sad.

Well, if Ferd is bringing the beer and knowing some of the other yahoos on this board, I think your kids will have lots of company at those hours.

Too unbelievable for me to believe. DPA is getting another card.

Just a reminder: Sending in your DPA card is NOT equivalent to sending in your absentee ballot. You are sending in your voter registration card - saying you want a chance to choose your representation. Pass it on!

A change of subject. For those of you world travellers out there, if you are nonreving out of AMS, are there any special procedures to know or do you just check in with the agent to check your bags and get airport listed? I haven't done this in a while and was wondering if it was anything like the fiasco at CDG. Thanks,

Denny

Ferd can bring the beer, Carl can be the dude with the microphone, I'll draw up the signs, FTB can be the big union guy enforcer that keeps people away from Carl, Clamp is in charge of port-a-potties and cheerleaders, Jesse can help out with the cheerleaders, T will be our media spokesperson firing off snarky comments when asked about what we stand for.......I'm sure there are hundreds of other positions that you guys can come up with.

Whaddya think?
I think we should put together a band for this. I can bring my drums. We could name the band "Restoration." This should be one of our songs:

Why does that surprise you? We have a MEC Chairman who opens each road show with, "I really don't want to be here..."

Can we not find someone who DOES want the job??
