How should we work this? Would I send you a check or is there some way to do this online?

Thanks!!

At 11:54am on November 18, 2009, Joslin said…: Hi Derek, it's nice to meet you! It's alright. I've come to really appreciate it a lot more over the past couple of years with all there is to do here. Aesthetically, it's definitely no Washington state. I've never been there but it looks incredibly beautiful. Orlando/Florida in general has it ups..but I'm not a big fan of the constant Summer and humidity. I love the Winter and Fall..any change of seasons at all really.

There are a few of us around here. Did you go to Dr. Graham's talk in Sept.? I was there and I got to meet one of my online buddies Kathleen Leonard--do you know her?
