....I was with my family on a plane en route to Santa Ana for the RIC 75th Confluence.... We arrived a few days early so we could take the kids to Disneyland. Such good memories! Wish we could do the trip all over again!

Oh, I hope so....

This year we went to a coin convention for our August vacation, so I hope that next year it's "my turn" again!

Hmmmm...... Ricks one year, coins the next...... one pays for the other, Melibee??

You will be missed, but only in body - we know you'll be with us in spirit.

Ummmm....something like that, Aitch!

When you all go to Starbuck's or Rubio's have a Venti Cafe Mocha or a fish taco and think of me! You all will be very much in my thoughts this weekend.

Fish Taco?????????

EEEEEWWWWWWW!!!

They seem to be real popular in California.

Mmmmmmm.... They're delicious! I've been craving them since I left SoCal last year. I've tried to duplicate 'em here, but I like Rubio's fish batter better than mine. Anyway, try one and think of me!

We'll all miss you, Marc, and the kids too. I'll have a fish taco for you - I've been thinking about them for about a month now!

It's all that mercury in California fish that gives it such flavor.

Very true. Nothing else tastes quite like a Newport Harbor halibut, thankfully.

Eh, you Californians will never die of mercury poisoning - you'll just slip into the ocean when the big one hits!

Oh, thanks a lot John!!

Melissa, the next time you come, I'll make sure you get to try much better fish tacos than Rubio's.
