IJMC Full Circle, Once Again

                   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
