* Misspelling below. Should be *Cordle*, not Constantine. I hope I got that right now!

Hey Richard . . . . . I'm here in the Dallas/Irving area! There are lots of things here that you just don't see anywhere else. What types of things are you interested in? I have now been here for 25 years, which is weird because that's longer than I lived in Vermont and I was born there. Like all big cities, there are lots and lots of things yo do and see. Patty and I kept pretty busy when she was here! I sure hope she had a good time! Give me an idea of the kinds of things you like, and I'll fill you in on what fits the bill. Otherwise I could ramble on and on. But if you or anyone else comes down here, you better let me know so we can get in touch. It's not often I get to see people from home.

Patty, thanks and good to talk with you again too.

It's good to hear that everybody is doing pretty good out there. Nancy Constantine, Roland McCarthy or anyone else: If you get down to North Texas, please let me know, because I would love to see y'all again!

Hi Roland, Yes, alot of my old buddies are working at WR and TJ is one of them...........I have applied to several jobs in the FWB area, Bedford, MA area and FWB area..........I have a good friend in Panama City that is going back to england and he is doing well down there. I haven't been on blogger lately, just got back on. I think they changed the format shortly after the google addition to the site. Maybe this is an added enhancement from that. I think it is different, but not too hard to get used to. Mom is all for me making a move if I have to, she knows I have not been happy or satisfied with this job. If I stayed in civil service, I would definately go back to DOD. Well, take care and have a good day...............will keep you posted.

Hey nan, Macon is a good area. Its growing now and its not so far south you get real bad humidity. Its been an impoverished area with economy losses but there are good places to live at a reasonalbe price and the people are not as curt as they are in ATL. I have one or two accounts there and enjoy going there. Its only about 1.5hrs from where I live presently.

Are we back to the old format with Blogger? Or did they change it again? Anybody know or is it my wierdness here?

Hi Roland, If I do get in that area, it will be near Macon. FWB is okay, but the heat is the only thing that I may have problems with. We'll see what they offer. I have applied up in MA as well. I still want to be near my family, but may have to go where the job is.

Glad to hear from you Nan. Theres lots of jobs available here but housing is expensive. I'm somewhere in MS tonight on the business ctr pc at the hotel. Too lazy to go get my laptop in the truck. I like this highspeed stuff though. Can't justify the cost yet though but as long as its free I'm in. We are getting palmtops through Sprint and they will have inet, phone, and realtime communication with the office and clients. Also a card for my laptop so I can go wireless. Course Sprint has lots of area where ther is no service. Anyway, let me know if you get near ATL and I'll try and be home. I might be taking a jaunt up to NE to introduce new products there also but not sure yet. So much to do here I might have someone else go. Keep the faith and be good, ha ha

Hi Roland, I am seriously thinking of trying to get down your way.......need a change from the job situation and an old supervisor I had contacted me about a Logistics job at his company. I may just take him up on it. Yes, I have been busy...........took some time off and now we are in the busy part of the year. I went to LI with a friend from VT and we had our own mini reunion there..........it was fun. Hope everyone is doing well..........

Jane should know she lives not far from Dallas! Hey Jane great to see you back! She showed me around when I went out to visit her a year ago.

Summer is finally here in The County too, like Northern VT. Lots of sun and things are growing like crazy! Dave will be in DC next week and then we'l be camping for 2 weeks in NH. I'm really looking forward to that. We go every year. Have for many years now. 14 actually. School was finished up at 1:30 yesterday. So today was my first day of vacation, officially.

Well Richard, its not B town but I too did those things but on the Gulf Coast of Biluxi. I love the ocean early in the am. Its so peaceful. Tonights the opposite. The excitement of Bourbon Street is luring. Had dinner at Ruths Chris Steak house. My 2nd favourite chain place. Glad to hear you finally got summer.

I think summer finally came to Vermont. What a beautiful morning. I went for a bike ride along the lake, stopped for a swim, and got to my job by 8:30. How cool is that?

Nancy good to see you back. Whats up? Your guys have any plans for the summer? I guess the worst state to drive through was New Mexico. Nothing there. I did it with friends years ago and think I let them drive and I slept. So whos in TX? Guess I'd beter look at the list or maybe Robert can tell us.
