===================
Hi Nancy,

 NB> point to  NB>> have it there for the few days/weeks out of the year
 NB> that we do manage  NB>> to be there...

 RH> Agreed, especially if you have enough other things to get your
 RH> time/attention while there.

 NB> I'm usually up there partially for a meeting, and always bring up some
 NB> sort of projects and books or other reading matter...  But I'm also up
 NB> there for the purpose of just vegging... which often means that I've
 NB> brought up WAY too many things to do, so they just get ignored...
 NB> It's the closest thing to a vacation I get, after all...  :)

I understand. I will usually bring a book or some sort of project
whenever we travel but not get anything done with it. Too many other
things to take care of or just visiting with whoever we're visiting
means those things get left in the bag. With my parents, it's often
working in the kitchen (so Mom won't have to) that takes up time.


 RH> We would have to get a land line most likely
 RH> if the cell connections are virtually non existant. They're that

 NB> You just have to have AT&T cell service... there's one of their towers
 NB> fairly newly put up just off the end of the Pond.  But there's no
 NB> cable, so one has to get satellite if one is inclined that way.

We changed from T-Mobile to Verizon last year. Thought we'd have better
coverage in NY but it's still not available in the areas we go to. So, I
guess we'd be like most people--high & dry with no internet or phone
service.

 RH> another bag as my carry on. Normally the Bean bag serves as my school
 RH> book bag; it has a lot of nifty pockets for snacks and such like too.
 RH> Bean suggests it be used as a diaper bag; there's an outside mesh
 RH> pocket that can hold a baby bottle. I've used it to hold anything from
 RH> a magazine to a water bottle to a travel umbrella.

 NB> Sounds like a convenient piece of luggage... ;)

It is. I'm not sure if I'll take it with me this week end or not tho. I
probably will, and stuff snacks in the side pocket as flight times
aren't on the same schedule as meal times. (G)

 NB>  NB>> separate from each other, either... what hurts that part of this
 NB>  NB>> state's economy is likely to have an impact up here, too...

 RH> It means you will be paying higher prices for maple syrup and
 RH> suchlike, for sure. We usually buy NYS only but a friend got a good
 RH> deal on gallon jugs from Vermont last summer so we invested in one. The
 RH> gallon we got in early April of last year is almost gone but we're set
 RH> for a while longer.

 NB> I suspect that the North Country maple syrup won't have been as
 NB> affected by this years weather, though, so maybe things will level out
 NB> some...

Don't hold your breath. (G)
