Yes, Jose, there's bait up at the General Store too.  It's also more reasonably priced than I'd thought in the past.

Luis - I'm bummed that you won't make it.  I'll get your stuff to Jedmo and hope to meet you later this year.

Dave - Thank you.   :smt001  I've got to get through another day of work, pack, shop, scour my stuff to make sure I'm not forgeting anything, get the kids' gear ready, get all the tourney gear, prizes, scoreboards...etc. together, so I'm trying to pace myself.  I went to a soccer meeting this evening where we picked teams - I'm my son's coach for U10's - that was a nice diversion for my mind.  I'm doing really well, but I'm so charged with energy and emotion, it's hard to describe my reality right now.  What you wrote, Dave, made me smile and just about start crying sitting here at the computer.  Thank you.   :smt001

Thanks, Scott.  I hope I didn't come off as hurting - on the contrary, I'm basking in it!  :smt003
