 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...
 ML> The Shipps tell funny stories about their friend Helen and
 ML> her already considerable brogue that goes into overdrive under
 ML> favorable conditions; 

And I experienced that to a small degree at the first Boyd Pond
picnic... :)

 ML> well, the woman I was having beers
 ML> with when writing that doesn't have nearly such an accent,
 ML> being farther removed from the Auld Sod, but does have a few
 ML> linguistic peculiarities that come out now and again.

Enough to trigger imitation anyway... ;)

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

The pieces are falling into place...?

 NB>> As to connecting you... Syracuse airport is only a few hours
 NB>> away... maybe 3 or so, maybe even a little less (Rochester is 4
 NB>> hours away, and Syracuse is closer).
 ML> On the way in I might try to hook up with the Shipps
 ML> (by the way, the Fords will probably not make it),
 ML> either that or fly into ROC and get picked up by
 ML> someone, I wonder who. Depends on where I'll be (I
 ML> might be coming in straight from Australia).

Flying into ROC.. yup, there is a possibility of pickup... ;)  Guess
we'll play that one as it plays out...  ;)

 NB>> 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
 NB>> Watertown... and undoubtedly bus service to Canton and Potsdam,
 NB>> although I haven't a clue on their schedules...  :)
 ML> Not that big a deal, especially as the event I was
 ML> intending to be torn away from you by may not transpire.

Ah... more flux...  :)

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

It would be rather detourish for most, if not all... not sure how far
away it is from even the turnoff from Rt 3...

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

I did mention it to Burt as a possibility for having a little more
privacy, comfort, etc... not so much as thinking we'd fill the cottage
to capacity...  :)
