from a weekend in Dallas to visit family. My sister and Sue's two brothers live there. Had a great visit with them. Weather was nice.

Steve, i pity you New Englanders (and others living in chillier climes) who have to deal with ice and snow for extended periods in the winter. Happy for you that your scary bridge slide ended with no collision.

Lloyd, we enjoyed the cozy, convenient accomodations the folks at IND provided at the New Haven when we were there in February, 2006. One does not have to go outside to go from the hotel to the Institute.

Everyone stay warm. Spring is coming!
