You can never tell! Last night, Charlotte listened to some of my music and i
listened to some of hers.  I woke up in the morning to a cute pic of a cat
looking in a mirror going 'oh Ghod, Im just like my Mom' ;-)

Mabel is more adaptable, perhaps because she has 2 extra feet to jump about
on!

It would have been good for us but it changed.  I'd say overall, next one
needs to be within 20 miles of a fairly sized reachable airport though with
taxi service.

Snicker!  Meaqntime, the plans changed again.  Instead of my flying to
Chicago, 3 from there fly to Norfolk.  I'm part of the highlight training
they are arriving for.  Had i had leave, it would have been cancelled.  I'm
what they call '1 deep' for this. Tuesday I give 2.5 hours hands-on training,
Thursday I have follow-up fine tuning for 4 hours in one on one sessions.

NC has some sort of underground fire going on and we wipe soot from our car
every morning.
