Yes, I know what you mean. Sometimes I really want to go to an RU, but things always come up. I never knew about that last one until it was over, but I probably would have skipped it anyway. I wouldn't want to comfirm the belief that I am a really dull guy. Other things come up. There have been some health problems in the family. I even had one myself, at just about the time of the RU. (It's all fixed up now.)

And there is always the distance problem. It would be nice if all of the Rinkies would go to the Smoky Mountains for an RU. Now that I think about it, that's not a very good excuse. Everybody knows that I travel a lot, sometimes great distances.

I have a followup visit to the doctor in a few days and after that, I plan to travel, travel, travel. I just ran off the registration forms for the fall scooter meet, and we are looking for just the right cruise. A cruise ship would be a great place for a reunion. They go out of their way to take care of groups.

I think I'm beginning to ramble.
