The boards are quieter today, must be that some have already taken off for the ABA conference in Washington. Have a great time--while the rest of us are here working away and wishing we were there.
I know some of you will be checking in on your "way kewl" toys while others will have to visit a vendor to keep up with us. Please do, because compliance problems march on even if you are out having fun. Can't wait to hear all about it.
Oh, be sure to have a few of those real drinks, not those virtual, umbrella thingees that are so popular most of the time. (Like I had to tell you that!!)

Wish I was going! Did I read that next year it will be in Chicago? Anyone have the date and place? Probably can't get it approved, but I can sure try!

Suzie of BOL fame is also attending. (I abused her in one of the forums on a bet...she rarely posts). She works with me. She's a cute little blonde chickie from Alaska...how many can there be!!!! Buy her a drink and pretend she's me. But don't ask her for inside stories!!!! Her real name is Suzon. Find her and send her out gift shopping pretty please! She's suposed to find me some fabric.

So Dawnie, a Suzon from Alaska, I'll be looking for her...even if she doesn't tell us any stories, after being with us, she'll have a couple for you.

I'll be there for the first time! Can't wait! MaryBeth, I thought I sent you a PM to say I was attending. Must have been in my dreams! I'm looking forward to meeting all of you! Sorry about those who can't make it, but someone has to hold down the fort!!

You all can raise a glass to the rest of us who are holding down the fort next week. Make mine a good glass of Zinfindel or Merlot! Enjoy D.C. Last time I was up there (Feb. '98) was well before we had to think about terrorism and restricted access to certain places up there.

Boo hoo, me too! My BOSS is going and doing magic tricks for everyone...but I just got home from the NC mountains on business and will go to our famous SC beach on business next week, so I can't complain. Last fall I went to Chicago for a Trust conference, and I LOVED Chicago, hint, hint! Ya'll watch out for Jim next week and keep him out of those Conga lines. Have fun and keep in touch.

I'm going this year, but next year I'll be the one stuck at home. It never seems to be in the budget for us to go to the "away" games! (I only live 20 miles from DC!) I am really looking forward to putting some faces with the names! See you all on Sunday! BC

I'm already here. Partly cloudy this afternoon, mid-70s. Tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday promise to be nice as well. Sunday starts some of the rain we had in Texas today as I was leaving.
The NRCC-BOLers will have to post at odd hours. Y'all leave some questions for us.
And if Louvera is reading this, the Courtyard is just across the street. You could hit it with a rock from here. But an umbrella may be called for still the same.

Thanks Andy! Glad to know the info they provided was right on target - umbrella is packed. It looked nasty for us (in the SE) on the weather report today.

I'm not going either ...originally planned on it, but the FDIC will be knocking on our door at the end of the month, and I need the time to organize! So, what am I doing here? ...just needed some frivolity today. Have fun!!!!

Hopefully this post isn't too late. But if you have your laptop and a wireless card, they have broadband available in the lobby. They may make cards available, I don't know. (But you can be sure I am dressed as I post this.)
