I'm about 5 foot, 6 inches or smaller, after the accident- I'm sure I've shrunk (or been flattened) a bit! And a whopping 130 pounds or less, most of it this god-awful grizzly adams beard I've been growing! You guys probably have amps heavier than me.
And I get around fairly well- my arms and hands work 99% of the time. There's just a few things I can't manage.
Thanks for the offer of help. If the Acella (sp?) train goes there, or another train, I could get to South Station in Boston and make it out to visit you fellas. I'd love to meet more of you- I just couldn't do the AK fest this year- it'd be too much for me to handle.

I'd make a strong effort, as I'd like to meet you all. I need to be sure health things are in order, but I might be able to do it, and would sure love to meet you all very much.
How long of a ride do you think it is? I've got something like 4 hours or so to New York. I may need to take the Acella, to avoid the pain of a long ride, but I'll decide that when the time comes.

Paul,
We would love to have you come down. It would be great to meet you in person.

Paul:
New York is more or less 4 hours from DC by train and I assume the Acela is faster. So you are looking at 8-9 hours on the train. A plane would only be an hour in contrast, but would be costlier.
The advantage of the train is that you are not constrained like you would be in a car. And they do serve beer.
Check out Amtrak's site. I believe they have timetables and all the info you need. Hope to meet you.

8+ hours may be a bit much, but I won't rule it out.

Paul if there is a date that works for you let me know. I'll plan a social gathering at my place and we will see what it grows to. You are more then welcome to crash with me. If my place isn't comfortable there are 3 hotels on the circle in front of my building.

We could all pitch in some money towards a plain ticket or Accella to get Paul down here.

Were you able to pick up WBJC at 91.5? Their signal is not quite as strong as WETA, but when I was still in consulting and driving back and forth to Ft. Monmouth I used to keep their signal until I got into range of the classical station in Philadelphia.
