For 2007, since it is late in the year, I head to sunny Florida! I missed several Monte Carlo-, heart-, and family-related events this year (no vacation until October); so, NOW ... it's time to cut loose, relax ... and DRIVE!

AND an ALL-INVITED BBQ in TALLAHASSEE FL on TUESDAY night, NOVEMBER 27. If interested in meeting along the way (breakfast, lunch, dinner, THE BBQ, or the evening, or whatever), let me know, especially if you're not on my list already....

Well, I sure hope you can, cowboy.

But, I won't have my car with me ... I most-likely will rent for this trip, like I have the last few trips.... Just easier that way .
