What a weekend! Lynn, you are a terrific host! The grub was great, the gorgeous strippers were incredible, and . . . huh? Oh. Sorry. Wrong party.

It's always fun to put faces with names and we got to do that a lot. Met some incredible guys and learned more than Kelly said I would. It was a real pleasure and my boundless thanks go to Lynn for his hospitality and generosity. But I'd do it again and would encourage anyone -- newbie or veteran -- to arrange to get to one of these. You won't be sorry!

I'm happy to report we cheated death once again with our safe return to KC on the magic carpet, though it was still pretty warm even at 4,500 feet.

Thanks to everyone for helping me learn so much.

Lynn, I'll check the pictures to see if any are worth downloading to the site.
