Well, as with David, I'm glad you've delurked. It certainly has sparked some
life back into the .col group. :)

I understand that one completely. When Lynda and I got married in 1996, we
had a town house. Attempts at building or doing much of anything with our
LEGO collection was pretty close to futile. It wasn't until about a year ago
(which was about a year after we bought our house) that my LEGO work area
came into being. As messy as it is right now. :)

I've just double checked with Lynda and the 19th will be good for me. :)

I think the only set I have that is unopened is a small Wild West set. I
just can't seem to keep sets sealed. ;P

Anything is fine by me... just getting together would be enjoyable. Maybe
keep things more free form this time, and since the group seems to be
getting more active we can discuss plans for future meeting dates/times and
ongoing ideas.
Just a random thought. :)

Yup yup. I'm game. Feel free to email any time. Email is good. Or ICQ if
anyone cares to (just tell me where I should know you from as I'm set to
authorize only <G>)
