LOL - yeah, I can relate :-)

LOL - yeah, we didn't strip in front of each other, but quick shirt changes
and things like that back stage were common. But as long as it's professional
I have no problems with it.

Yeah, I can see that. Money has been tight for us too. Last couple of
years have seen some unusual medical issues that have taken more out
of pocket than normal...

 JA>We also went to Huntsville a few years ago, but only once. It was fun,

Man that's awesome!!! But Huntsville was still not nearly as big as
walking through GenCon the two times I've been there. :-)

 JA>We've never ridden on the train - we've talked about it before,

Hmm... So we could theroetically ride from Newbern (we have an Amtrack
station just 20 or 25 minutes from here) to Chicago, then change to a
train to Indy?
