I have to say that I was really impressed with having attended my first SOCO event. The venue was wonderful, the hospitality was endless, the food was fantastic, the conversation sparkling (thank goodness the wine wasn't - albeit I don't drink wine so why would I care?), and the attendance was impressive.

All in all, an enjoyable evening and a chance to meet some very nice people! Even "St. Nick" (as he is certain to be known from now on) seemed to be on pretty good behaviour! Thanks for all that you do, Nick! I must admit, though, the photos leave some questions for me ... . One thing that I'd like to have been able to do last night, is to associate the names of people (photos) and their online monickers. Glad to meet all of you, nonetheless!

Norm et al, thanks so much for having Mary Lynn and me into your home and making us feel like a part of the group. Great evening. I look forward to being part of a couple of cruises - however long or short, when the weather warms up. I'll tell you, Crossfire ownership seems to be alot of fun so far!

Best of the season to everyone and thanks, once more!

John
