IJMC - Full Circle, Once Again
In about ten minutes, I will be well on my way out of town. For four
nights I will rest and relax in the warm sun of Key West, Florida with a
good many of my friends. To those who will be there, we're gonna have a
blast. To those who aren't making it this time...there will be other
trips, this I say. -dave
