LOL!
No hostilities here by any stretch. Was really just giving you props for an exciting time in your life dude, you're a lucky guy for sure. 12 days!!
One of the reasons I really like this club is the quality of the people that make it up. I've made what I consider to be friends in a short amount of time - people in this club are good people it seems to me, and those types are hard to find IMO.
Your points are all sound and understood, Marshall - and, I agree 100%. I was president of my fraternity in school for a couple of years and while not even close to the same, I battled the meeting vs. fun time agenda for most of my tenure. I agree that like wheeling, regular monthly meetings are a tie that continues to bind the group together and have to continue to happen for the club's health and benefit.
I'll be at more meetings, would be happy to host one up this way like David just did and wasn't attempting to undermine this one. I wouldn't have been there no matter what (previously explained) and JP is still going to make it so all is good.

And, if it makes you feel any better, I'll drink a few

in your honor tonight!!
Alex - I'd be game for another Cullowhee run for the folks that aren't going to make GSMTR. I wasn't planning on going to GSMTR anyway, my next Tellico trip will most likely be in August if UC does that again.
Oh yeah, you should ante up the whole $10 and send Mary Hardin a check for your 1 year UC membership!!!

UC could always use more quality members and you'd be an asset to the club.
