Howdy ya'll:)

Yes...that's my AlphaBit in Texas greeting...lol
Ok...here's the story.
King Tex and I will be taking a train trip up to Boston (see itinary
below) and will have a couple of 3-5 hour layovers in a couple cities.
I'm not sure where everyone lives, but would love to have the
opportunity to meet some of you, even if only for a few hours.
Also, Amtrak has a bit of history for not being right on time, so people
would have to call the station to assure the exact arrival.
It looks like the major layover cities are Chicago, New York-Penn.
Station, and Washington-Union Station.
This is tentative to us picking the tickets up today. Plus I will get an
exact time schedule should they have additional cities with any layovers.
If you are interested in meeting us, let's chat via email or here or I
can call you.
If you aren't interested in meeting us, well then....ummm...you don't
know what your missing?...lol...j/k:)
Here's the itenary;

Departs Austin 07/25/03 10:31am

Hehehe:)

Hey E N Z O....just a warning...we will stop by and see you guys again,
so please make sure you have some of that wonderful coffee of your's brewin
when we get there:)
After taking the train to Phoenix last month, I thought how fun it would
be to have people along certain routes have reservations also and just
bombard the train with a mobile AW reunion. I reckon the conductor would
probably make sure we weren't in the "quiet car" though...lol
Hey Goober King....maybe we could set a date for you to go to AWI also
when we do and have a meeting about the council idea?
Woooohoooo...only a couple weeks and Casey Jones will be mounted to his
cabin again!....Hehehehe!

Jul 10, 2003, 3:23pm

That could be theoretically possible, but I'd have to take a day off of
work in order to make it up there at a reasonable hour. (Unless ENZO and
Co. feel like coming into the office on a Saturday. :D) It would also
have to be sometime in August, since I'm going to be out sailing to NYC
for the entire last week in July.

But speaking of the council idea, whatever happened to that meeting you
were planning to set up in your server chat room?

Man with the plan

Well...that's a long story.
We will be in Boston in August, but have Tex's Mother's 80th Bday to attend
on the 10th, and her campground to go to sometime probably in August.
What we could do is communicate via my other email address once we know what
our plans are for August?
Sailing!.....Heck...boats are made for fishing boy!:)

Sounds like a plan. I'll await your word.

Oh, and you are incorrect about boats. The only people who say that sort
of thing are those who have never experienced sailing before. :D

It only takes that much energy if you're racing them. But there's
nothing more relaxing than cruising downwind on a lazy summer day. Maybe
if there's time, you can come down and take a sail on my dad's boat! :D

Awww..thanks sweetie...but I'm afraid that if you got Tex anywheres near
water...he would have withdrawels if he didn't have a pole in his hand...lol
I'm not sure what our time is going to be. But I will definately be
getting hold of you and let you know when we can be at the AWI office.
Thanks for the sailing offer though:)

Looks to me like you'll be passing thru 12 miles south of me in New London
Connecticut, As I live in the city of Norwich. But by the looks of your
schedule, your train will not be stopping at that terminal. :(
MrBruce

Jul 11, 2003, 6:39pm

Awwww..sorry about that:)
Would have been wonderful to meet you also!
From the looks of it once we get into the NE most stops are like 10-15
minutes.
Dang, probably no smoke breaks either...lol

of fishies and tropical fish :)) And watchout for the construction.. they're
still working on allot of stuff.
