I'm going to cut boats out of the followup unless you want it.

Worth attending eh?  I've been to the berry festival in Covelo.  I'm not
normally into these things, especially when you have to pay to get in.

But good food flavors are not to be missed.

I think that can be a good title to have.

I missed visiting Ithaca back a few years when we had an All Projects
meeting there due to the change in the Federal fiscal year.  A prior
trip I made it to Rochester.  Missed the gorges tour.  Missed the
project re****ts, etc.


Well I also think of Castroville: artichokes; Lindsey: olives, etc.
