Hi, Jerome, If you're heading out West on Aug 31, you'll likely not be hitting the Centre of the Universe (aka Toronto) until after mid-September at the earliest. Too bad, because I'll likely be out of this outpost by then.
I mean, the other TOPDML guys (sadly, there are no gals) will still be here, but clearly, I'm the "fun guy" of the group. <vbg> But seriously, 't'would've been nice to meet ya. OTOH, if you could extend your route slightly eastward after TO - like to Nova Scotia... Uh, never mind. cheers, frank jerome wrote: > Well, it's official: I'll be starting my trek to Seattle on August 31.
