    Hey Deane...
    
    Joyce

Hi Deane,

	I'd be up for a Tuckermans trip in April. My ski club is
	right down the road! (At the junction of 302 and 16)

								mike

Thanks for the welcomes, folks.

And, Barb, I've never done anything with ActorSingers.
Bug me about the next performance and I'll be sure
to attend!  And if you happen to have pull with the
musical director, you could mention that you know a 
trumpet player :-)

When I first moved up to New England, I used to play
in the pit orchestras for Westboro, Lincoln, Southboro
and Marlboro (I lived in Marlboro at the time).  
It was a blast!

    
    re - mike
    Cool!!!  Whats your ski club?
    I usually ski the Tuck in mid-late April on a warm day.   
    
    re - Joyce
    Thanks ;-)                   

Deane - PK1 huh?  If/when you're over in PK3 stop by!  Down at the route 27
end on the first floor - look for the plants hanging from the ceiling.  ;-)

I'd LOVE to go skiing, but I dunno about Tuckerman's...maybe I'll sit and
watch you guys from the lunch rocks.  ;-)  Am going up to Wildcat next
weekend with brand new boots!  YEAH!

Hi Rich and Anne too - nice to see you perk up in here.  Hi Mary too!

    Havn't seen that place before...is it right on 302?  Good spot...that's
    fer ser!  Wildcat's right around the corner (one of my fav's)

	RE: .72

	If you go behind the Red Park Pub, which is at the intersection
	of 302 and 16, you'll find our ski club. (the old train station
	and the bunkhouse)

    	Do you recognize the song?  I don't remember if the words are

    	Can't remember the words, but I thought it was the Brady Bunch song
    - something about a story of a lovely lady - the whole image hadn't
    loaded when the 800 line rang - so I killed netscape :-(

    Yes, all my Labs sleep in the house at night.  No, they are not named
    after the reindeer.  And sometimes they walk me but most of the time
    the run free while I walk around our 2 acre fenced yard.
    
    Thanks for the welcome.
    
    Wendy

    	Well Bill, its about time you 'fessed up!   Welcome and any friend
    of Barb's has to be at least "ok" ;-)
    
    	Stop by - if you're ever in AKO2!

Well, sounds like one of us has shocked you!  ;-)  So come on fess up!  Guess
it's got to be either me or Ron - we're the only two you mentioned.  ;-)  Course
Ron hasn't written too much...

Well anyway...
    
>    again.  Hi Ron... Bapb (Barb).  Old friends from the good ol' VAX days.

No more Supra ;-( (did I send you that mail last year??) but still have the 
plate!  ;-)

ttfn,
Barb

    
    	I have a Supra.
    
    	Oops, that was a terrible thing to say.  8^)
    

    Thanks for the warm welcome.  Good to know there's at least 1 place
    I can relax.
    
    So... there's one other winter camping nut in here.  Glad to hear it!
    Maybe we can set something up if you're game, Mike.  Might be fun
    to introduce others to the sport.  It's a lot of fun if one is
    properly prepared.  My favorite part is hot breakfast of plenty of
    high cholesterol items that are supposed to kill you.
    
    Oh yea, I have a Supra, too.  Sorry to hear about yours, Barb.  I
    hadn't heard about your accident(?).  I remember your turbo model. 
    You took me on a rocket sled ride up rt. 111 once, remember?  You
    also showed me the then brand-new antilock brake technology.  I
    might even take my '85 out of the garage if this warm weather
    keeps up.
    
    re: shock
    
    It wasn't you, Barb.  ;-)  So, it must have been...  Then again,
    divorce isn't something one talks about openly in the hallways. 
    I've chatted with Ron many times with no clue to his situation. 
    But, he's happy and his kids are growing up fast.  That's all that
    matters.  Barb, attending one of your theatrical productions once
    was enough to remove you from my "shock" list.  ;-)  I sat too
    close to the front and my ears hurt from the sound levels.  Chalk
    it up under my ideas about culture, large crowds, etc.  ;-)  Not
    my cup of tea.

re - Shawn
    
>    	I have a Supra.
>    	Oops, that was a terrible thing to say.  8^)

;-P  Yeah, if Friday night had gone as planned I was gonna nab your keys and 
take it for a spin!  ;-)  Did you end up washin and shinin it? ;-) (sorry you 
were sick on your week off.)

re- Bill    

>    Oh yea, I have a Supra, too.  Sorry to hear about yours, Barb.  I
>    hadn't heard about your accident(?).  I remember your turbo model. 

Yup, it was totalled last Valentine's Day (not by me! I was in the car though).
;-(  The short version of the story is in the pool note here, the long version
is in my mail file somewhere.  No injuries, thank God.

>    You took me on a rocket sled ride up rt. 111 once, remember?  You

Ah yes, I remember.  ;-)

                                                          Mike.

    	Mike - maybe the attire over there is the reason there seems to be
    an awful lot of single/divorced/separated guys in HLO - can't say for
    sure - but from personal experience - most of the singles I've met
    have worked at HLO...
    
    joyce

    	HLO has done more hiring than any other part of Digital over the
    last several years. So that could account for the greater number of
    singles there (versus other sites loaded down with us old farts who
    never leave).

        Weclome Mz Debra. How'd the show go?? I live accross the aisle from
    Larry Seiler whom I also belive was in Yeomen of the Guard.

her to sign in here.)

Welcome Deb!  You'll have fun with this crew!  ;-)

Barb

    
    I admit to being vaguely troubled 8^).

    me!!!!  I think I will go back in to my shell now!!!!  Just kidding.
    
    My last name is SHONAK, us contract people don't get real accounts! 
    Actually that's not true... I'm on exchange.

    me in a long time. :^)

    Welcome, Neil!
    
    I'd join you biking this weekend, but I have my heart set on some
    hiking and also not straying too far from home.  Mom's over 800 miles
    away so I won't be seeing her.
    
    Bill

    	Welcome Neil!
