Hi Rob! You are closer to Chris than I, by maybe thirty miles or so. I have a house in Ocean City and a place in Annapolis, for when I am in DC. Chris is up in the extreme northwest corner of Maryland, just hang a left at Frederick and climb.
Hey John, my wife was just looking over my shoulder as I read your post, and heartily approves of your financier's prudence
She said she can't understand why I am not just as satisfied with just collecting photos of Ricks - and sees no reason to buy the real thing. I then of course foolishly riposte with why she would not be satisfied with just collecting photos of all these pricey new dresses and other clothes and furniture she buys, instead of buying the real thing.
And in return she gave me The Look.

Now I am in trouble, and looks like I am in for more than the awful earache that I have so far....
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and sit in with the band whenever you can, to keep your chops up!
