Al- GREAT weekend.  
Thanks for arranging everything.  

My first trip to MB was memorable and I'm looking 
forward to returning. 

A couple of comments on the weekend:

First -  no better way to spend a birthday than with good 
friends.  I was shocked to see snow falling in Chicago before 
departing, enough to hold the plane for de-icing and force me 
to miss a connection in Atlanta.  I was happy to have the plane 
ready rather than rush out - and Fox didn't seem to mind waiting, 
since there was a bar to help him pass the time.

Sea Trails is a beautiful destination.  The condos are perfect 
for this type of group - even if our neighbors didn't appreciate 
our loudness Saturday night as we figured out the Last Band 
Standing results.

I enjoyed the golf, all three courses.  Oyster Bay was in the 
best shape and most challenging.  All worth a second look.  
And next time I'll know where the water comes into play.  
Al, the momentum seemed to shift when I sank the chip shot on 
the island green. Great competition both days.  Andy - congrats 
on your Net championship.  Well deserved.  And for the record, 
you too had a chip in later in the round.   Sobo, your game 
came around on Saturday, but you may have made the right 
decision in not continuing the betting.   Mags, just a few more 
practice rounds and you'll be competitive.  Sorry it didn't 
work out for us to play together.  Next time for sure.

Breakfast at Big Nells and dinner at The Boundary were excellent.  
Tony's for pizza and subs worked out great - I'd do that again.

It is great seeing everyone. I really look forward to these 
gatherings, and will do my best to keep up my perfect attendance 
streak.

Go Irish!    Hans
