RE: Y2K-X BEGINS



Wow. I am so bummed I am missing this year. I just got back from Beirut dropping my youngest off at the Lebanese American University where he begins his college adventure.
I hope everyone has a smashing time! I'll have to catch up w/ the Walker Bros & spouses later
Peace and looping
