Merritt sounds like a great place to go if you have "ambulation issues."
Beth, I am really looking forward to this adventure. I am definitely going
to do this and I can't wait to meet you in person. Tell me when to come and
I will be there. I'll probably fly down; I don't think I could manage the
drive at this point.
A couple of years ago, I wrote a silly newsletter called "Horsefeathers" for
my birdwatching group. I am a serious birder, but you know the other side of
me -- that has a tendency to come out everywhere at times. There were a few
serious articles in Horsefeathers, but most of it was complete frivolity. I
decided to put a few of the sillier stories on my website, and if you have
nothing better to do, you are more than welcome to waste a few minutes of
your life reading one.
