Kathy, Boise sounds lovely and Martha, we loved New York as well. We would
love to go back. We saw "You got mail" yesterday and we will buy the video
just to relive the New York experience. We stayed at the WestSide YMCA by
Central Park and walked through it every day. Cathy went there again with a
friend next year and was caught up in the madness of the Garth Brooks
concert. It was something. Jeanne

>> once in the grocery store. His wife had a cold, so he was doing the
