Jimmy, that's a great opportunity to take the vacation with the whole family. I'm very happy for you. Selfishly, I will probably feel your absence more than most. E-mails and phone calls are no substitute for just sitting around and talking about nothing in particular. I was hoping to get you in the water with your improved feet. Perhaps I can get you to roll in for the FFF Southern Council Conclave in October which our local club is running. Cherish those moments with the kids 'cause it don't get any better than that. -Jeff

Jody and I had been trying to coordinate a week in New Mexico for the entire family. Everything fell into place earlier this week - spring break for the grandkids and condo availability. So, regretfully, I must cancel my 2007 Sow Bug trip, but I'll be there in 08 Lord willing. I hate to bail out on you, but family opportunities like this very seldom come along. Also, I'll celebrate my 70th birthday on Thursday, March 15. That in itself would present no problem, for Thursday was to be my travel day to Mtn. Home. However, Spring Break for all my grandkids in school is March 12-19. This is the first time I can remember when all the grandkids ISD's had spring break the same week. SO . . . . Jody & I rented a BIG condo in Red River, NM for the entire week. Jody and our five grown kids and eight grandkids, have have a big birthday party planned for me out there. Our condo is right on the banks of the Red River and fishing ponds for the little guys are adjacent to it. So, my three sons and two son-in-laws and I will fly fish the Red and take the little guys pond fishing. The girls, Jody, my two daughters and three daughter-in-laws will hit the shops in Red River, Eagle Nest and Taos. Cheers!
