I've noticed Mike has been absent for a week or so. Did he go on vacation?

maybe, I think he may have. He'll be flattered by your concern. I'm sure he's too busy fishing and being with his family to post and may be away from a computer.

Well, anything exciting happen while I was gone?

Hmmmm, not much.

You going to the Rhody thing a ma jig? I am, so is Mindi. Looking to put her on her first striper.

Mindi, this is Mike. He lives on Long Island but was raised in MA. He owns just about every lamiglas rod known to man. Ummm, he's a lawyer but don't hold that against him ;)

It's Rhode Island I think ;)

Actually, you're both right. I was born and grew up in RI, but spent a lot of time living in Mass.

Don't know yet on the RI Fling. Depends on the wife's work schedule, and since she's gonna have to juggle two weekends to allow me to go to MV, it doesn't look too good. Even if she gets the time off, I have a prior committment on the 29th.

Nice to meet ya...hope you can make the RI thing but if not we'll take lots of pictures! It's the 12th-14th I believe so maybe you can make it.
