 ML> the 21st or 22nd, everything will be foine. I can't believe
 ML> I typed that - shows I'm hanging out right this minute with
 ML> an Oirish woman.
 NB> Yeah, stuff rubs off when you least expect it...

The Shipps tell funny stories about their friend Helen and
her already considerable brogue that goes into overdrive under
favorable conditions; well, the woman I was having beers
with when writing that doesn't have nearly such an accent,
being farther removed from the Auld Sod, but does have a few
linguistic peculiarities that come out now and again.

Speaking of which I may have the opportunity to visit Kevin
in August or September. 

  As to connecting
 NB> you... Syracuse airport is only a few hours away... maybe 3 or so,
 NB> maybe even a little less (Rochester is 4 hours away, and Syracuse is
 NB> closer).

On the way in I might try to hook up with the Shipps
(by the way, the Fords will probably not make it),
either that or fly into ROC and get picked up by
someone, I wonder who. Depends on where I'll be (I
might be coming in straight from Australia).

 I don't know much about the puddle jumpers, but there is a
 NB> little airport in Ogdensburg and also (I'm pretty sure) in Watertown...
 NB> and undoubtedly bus service to Canton and Potsdam, although I haven't a
 NB> clue on their schedules...  :)

Not that big a deal, especially as the event I was
intending to be torn away from you by may not transpire.

However, in the event I must leave before everyone else,
I would probably ask to be driven to Canton or Potsdam,
If Watertown were on someone's way, that might work; and
that time of year there are sometimes cheap flights from
Saranac Lake, if someone were inclined to take a pleasant
if detourish jaunt through the park on their way home.

 NB> we can easily accomodate 11 or so in the cottage.  Also probably
 NB> available is the loft apartment over the garage, for a separate cost. 

If only we had attendance that required us to occupy that
as well.
