Tom, was trying to figure out if I had enough vacation to drive to
Tampa, fish during and after the conference, drive up to the Eastern
Shore and hit the stripers and then head to Penns. *I think lottery
winnings would have to be involved (and a liver donor).

the heck with vacation time, there simply isn't enough aloe vera lotion
on the planet to cope with that trip. By the time you departed Accomack
County, you would be driving a borrowed ice-cream truck with you body
packed in Creamsicles. Geez, man, what ARE you thinking? Let's review:

step 1--drive from Nebraska to Florida. Do-able, but I've heard the
stories in the past.

step 2--Fish, despite being a pasty Midwesterner, in Tropical climate
nearing Summer Solstace. Emerge, three days later, resembling Lobster
Thermadore.

step 3--Drive another thousand miles, trailing skin peelings, up the
coast to Virginia. Ahhh, merely sub-tropical. Perhaps you'll need a sweater.

step 4--Flail at stripers and red drum for a few days under a
deceptively intense sun, on a reflective sandy beach. Children will flee
at the sight of you, and contact will be made by a courier from the
American Blister Museum. Aloe futures soar, as supplies dwindle.

step 5--drive to Penn's, where you crumble into charred dust as you
exit the car. Bruce vacuums you up and sends the vac bag to Brenda.

sounds like a plan to me.......
