Ohhh!  I'd love that!  Me, I'm home taught and never got the trick (due to it
being one of the things you just sorta have to see and feel to get right). 
My wrist got weak due to what was later a problem in the back but we didnt
know that then.  It's not obvious when you see me, but then I've ever been
one to adapt to my abilities vs disabilities.

Rats!  I may be there by Friday but will not know until that actual week. 
Perhaps if it's close enough you can make it on Sunday?  Lots still going on
that day but Jim White will be only Sat I gather.

My plans are to depart the area on Monday and head back home.  Might make a
short stop with the Shipps so as to show Charlotte some DC things on the way
back.
