OK looks like my brother and I will be in at the Celtic on Friday night. He was thinking it involved driving much further until he finally decided to look at a map.

That's grand indeed, the more the merrier. It does sound as though XMarks is going to be well represented that evening. I will have a chance ta meet some new friends. Ol ones too!

Hope to see many of you Saturday, I will be at the Lamont tent and aimlessly wandering looking for goods to buy..

Sadly, I will not be able to make Friday night after all... I have just been scheduled with meetings from 7pm until 1am Saturday...

I hope you really like your job, Mike, cause those hours S*ck!

Hey Turpin, it is a phase. I had to make an emergency trip to Richmond this week for my day job. Got back last night at about 5:30... Had meetings until 1am and then again this morning starting at 5. Sleep is for when your dead, right?

Once again, duty calls and I will not be able to make it to the games. Instead, I will be honoring another fallen servicemember. Please keep our troops in your thoughts, hearts, and prayers.

I will be sure ta raise at least one toast ta them tonight.
Left home thismorning at 8:30am and arrived at the hotel here in Atlanta at 3pm this afternoon. Drove thru a lot of rain on the way here. Over cast out now but lucky no rain at the present.
The temp really dropped as I headed North, it was in the low 80*'s when I left and at the hotel as Iwas unloading me gear it was 59*, I just love it.
Looking forward to tonight, the hotel clerk did say that the traffic would be a real grinder about the time I plan on leaving for the meet up. So I will probably be fashionably LATE!

Her is what you missed if you were off doing something useless like work or attending to your sick mother or just plain lazy.

JilyStNicholas had already gone, but I think this is most of everyone else. We had a very nice time, and it's always great meeting new folks.

(A few of the folks here aren't X'ers, but I think they're mostly wannabes.)

Thanks for the pic Jim. Nice to see you again. Looks like marriage agrees with SouthernScot and his bride.
