I’ve got to be in Phoenix this Friday-Saturday for business, and wanted to extend my stay a little. Can anyone give me a suggestion for something fun to do in Phoenix and its surrounding areas? I’ll be working most of Friday, but Sat is free. blanx ---

Should also ask, what are your interests? I can suggest places to hike, places to rollerblade, places to see live music (classical, jazz, blues, or rock), museums, etc. It would be great to meet you though. ---

TheLadyLion is well on the mend so we’ll be able to make a mini-get together Saturday evening perhaps. ---

I’d go to a game but LadyLion is bored to tears by baseball. ---

It doesn’t matter where you go, as long as it is air conditioned or it’s very early in the morning. 😃 ---

You could go to Sedona. I really dig Flagstaff and San Francisco Peaks and also make sure you get out on the Mogollon Rim and look out over Arizona. Cool stuff ---

Gah!- at this moment, it looks like the irritating travel person has to fly me back Sat afternoon. So, Friday night looks like my only shot to meet the Phoenicians… I’m going to try and amend the trip- more details to follow. ---
