I'm in Tampa... on business

[PuckPuck]

In a last minute business move, I was sent to Tampa..... well I landed this morning.

My laptop went on the fritz on me, so I'm typing this from Kinkos, but I should have a new laptop fed-exed to me tomorrow.

Anyhow currently i'm scheduled to be in Tampa until Thursday evening, but that may change... who knows.

If anyone is upto it, I'd like to go out for a beer or dinner or whatever with some fellow NECOers.

Give me a call on my cell phone at 313-434-1693... or just call me at my hotel.... Courtyard Mariott @ 3805 West Cypress St... phone # there is 813-874-0555 and I'm in room 429.

I probably won't be able to check this anytime soon, so if you do want to hook up, please call...

[BatCougar]

Too bad you didn't know you were coming down here you could have just picked up the stuff you got from me...............

If I was closer I would make the trip, just a little to far in the middle of the week.
