[DAVID L. VALDEZ]

Double edged sward. Work load making it necessary for me to stay home this weekend. Fortunately for me, we were not taking the long weekend at Ft. Pickens by ourselves. My cousin and her family were going with us. My wife feels bad about me not going and still hoping, but being a one man show at my job is making it impossible to go fishing for four days. I guess I will have to spend some time with you all. I believe I have already overcome the disappointment. I am definitely ready for the caravan to Commerce. I have never been there. Sounds like fun. Give me a heads up on when and where to meet.
