Think more in terms of 'dinner' and a return trip the 'day after' Dan...

The pint or two sounds mighty good....

I happen to be familiar with Venn diagrams...

I would be totally jazzed to get together for a picnic with softball!
Unfortunately there's no way I have the funds to come. (argh!)
If I did, I would totally do the Shatner weekend! That would be awesome! |

I believe it (the white text) has been like that since the last site-refresh (which is quite awhile) ...this isn't the first time someone has pointed it out.
It's something that really should be fixed...

I find it hard to believe you all can not afford to fly in your own country the plane tickets are dirt cheap:) at this point in time:)
If you were serious (and I know you are not  you would find a way:)

Ain't that the truth.
Last time coming in from Dallas, landing in Newark, just about hit the tarmac, last minute forced acceleration back into the air.
There was another plane on the ground crossing our landing.....always a grand adventure. |

| Of course I would go if I had the money! I went over 2000 miles to see Bill didn't I?? Doesn't look like I'll have the cash to do it again, but it was amazing. |

I can relate to this. One pre Christmas while visiting My daughter in Oklahoma. I was waiting on the tarmac at Newark, to Cross over the runway as you mentioned, I had a window seat, and to my horror, ( was side on to the landng approach) I could see in the air approaching the said run way, the headlights of 9 planes. I have never forgotten this and we had to cross over with these 9 planes approaching. I gather there would have been room but one tiny error, and you would be History. picture that 9 headlights in the approach.
Flying in the US is not for the faint of heart:)

Daisy, you're not serious, are you? 
The only way I can afford food for the rest of the month is if I don't pay my income taxes this month. I'm assuming at some point I'm going to be in a heck of a lot of trouble for that, but I can't let my family go hungry.
There are a lot of people in this world who have no money for travel. It's a luxury for many of us, who have lost jobs, or businesses, due to the poor economy. |

Goodnight, Daisy. Rest well.  |

Well, for what it's worth, I think that at the core of this particular thread (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) was the idea to explore the possibility of creating a low-cost opportunity (perhaps two tanks of gas and a night in a hotel) for some of us in the Eastern time zone to break bread together in an informal and relaxed setting ...nothing requiring a lot of planning or necessarily taking vacation time from work ...and certainly nothing that someone would need to purchase a plane ticket for.
Don't let the mention of Bill's annual get-together on the we$t coa$t muddy the water here...

I'm thinking carpooling too.
Shoe horn a marksman, an artificial
and a figure skating mom into a mid-size sedan on a road trip to Mayberry.
Engaging conversation to be sure.
We start at Hill Island.
