Mike,
That's very nice of you offer. I guess I'm too much of a pack animal to want
to go off for a number of days by myself. I DO enjoy the company of my
astro-buddies, and I do enjoy meeting the new folks who come out. If the
inconsistent darkness at distant star parties is the price I have to pay to
enjoy the company of my friends, I'm willing to do that.
