Peter,
Just in case I can't get back into Canada, what's your address again?

Glad to hear you survived, I wasn't sure they'd let you into the country.  
Now you only have to prove
your a Canadian to get back home.

It all wound down a few hours ago.  I'm at a cabin near West Jefferson 
North Carolina, spending the night before heading up to Pittsburgh with 
Mark Roberts, thence to Toronto.

'T'was a great weekend!  Everyone who said they'd be there was.  I won't 
list everyone, but the overseas contingent were there:  Cotty, Tan, 
Jostein, Adelheid.  Lots of Yanks, too.

They mostly tolerated me and my meanderings, along with my phuzzy photos.  
In fact, I think I ~didn't~ win a prize in the 
nature/landscape/flower/wildlife photo contest, only because the judges 
weren't attuned to my style (such as it is).  What is it with these 
outdoors types and their fetish for sharpness?  Not to mention, I had to 
shoot the contest in colour (horrors!) vbg

Seriously, I can't begin to tell y'all how much fun I had.  Everyone I met 
from the list was terrific - just like on the list, only moreso.  And, 
yes, Cesar really does have that many cameras, and yes, two LXen really 
are snakeskin covered.

So, tell me, anyone from GFM post yet?
Anyway, Mark and I may try to get some pics posted tonight (but may not be 
able to), however, tomorrow night from Pittsburgh for sure.

cheers,
frank

Frank,
You'll never find me, fiendish laugh=0n Bwahh Haa Haa Hah /fiendish 
laugh even if I sent you detailed instructions
with a map.  There are still Girl Scouts wandering around out there 
trying to sell me cookies, or find their way home.
