Thanks for sharing that great post, Jack, and I'd have to agree that under even the best of circumstances, there's always a great deal of "sacrifice" to get to a show. I'd also agree with you that just "showing up", at the show makes everyone a winner. Congratulations on a job well done, Brigid, and I hope your grandmother is doing much better. Judy
