Don't miss me too much, in about an hour or so I will leave for an eight-day trip. Wife and I fly to Seattle, then drive to Banff/Lake Louise and back. The long drive is courtesy of frequent-flyer tix that wouldn't accommodate our Canadian destination. Anyway, a long-overdue vacation - am taking my dinosaur camera and binocs, renting a Ford Escape or some such (will probably miss manual transmission more than BMW), in which we will hopefully see moose and other such. Looking forward to it.
