By the end of that sojourn you'll be standing on the porch at the Surratt Tavern singing Dixie to the arriving dudes, I guar-ran-tee!

Yes I have, Bill! Laurie has already been advised that if I don't show up for the conference, it's most likely that you and Rick decided to play a round of "Lynch the Yankee". I'm taking my chances and I'm looking forward to my first sojourn in many years onto southern soil.

I don't know what Goober peas are, Laurie, so fill me in. I did love the bacon grease trick.

And what happened to the score? Richter shows up and you guys award yourselves another point? What is that mess? O.K., I'll buy that, but you can count on some "blamed Yankee tricks" in the next round. I was thisclose to a win..............
