My wife and Christine really hit it off and I'm sure that was a major factor in the "charming" experience. I'm a better person with my wife than by myself.

Yes, Charm is "charming", loved being able to put a face to some of the names here on the board. I still wish I could make it to NY walk but the airfare is crazy! I'm thinking about calling a high school friend to see if he can get me his discount airfare and maybe do standby since it's just me but not sure it will work out. I guess you all will be surprised if I show up!
Sorry I made your wife cry Charm, next year I will have to have tissues around the pavillion and will need some myself.
Just to clarify even though my neighbor lives in a mansion, I do not, at least 2 of my houses can fit into hers!LOL
