Well, **glee** has arrived and checked in to his room, and he’s eagerly looking forward to reacquainting himself with those who can come to the DopeFest!

I’ll be checking with **DMark** and one of us will post details in the next couple of days as to times and locations. (I’ve volunteered my place for the Saturday BBQ, but need to confirm that before making directions available.)

Hope to see you there!

I am happily ensconced and have received the usual delightfully friendly welcome from the natives… (many thanks, Kurilla!) 🆒😃

I have been to my first baseball game and come 8/22 in my first Texas Hold’em tournament. (My all-in AK failed v QQ, but there’s no shame in that!)

This year’s Dopefest was quality rather than quantity.  
Thanks to Dmark and Kurilla for their civilised conversation.  
I’m already planning next year’s trip!
