I love Napa, hope you have something good to move up there for, beautiful 
area. I have property not far, over at Clear Lake, but it's only dirt with no 
house on it...:-/ Someday...

I completely agree. I drove up to Berkeley the other night to make such a 
point. I am working just a few blocks from the Carl's Junior that was 
suggested for a BAD meeting. I wanted to make a point to tluxt, that it 
really doesn't matter where a BAD meeting is, people will show up as they can.

I saw people that I would expect to see at a BAD meeting, and maybe a couple 
that I would expect to see and didn't...seems funny to not see JoeyH at a BAD 
meeting, since it was Joey that started BAD to begin with as I recall.

I would have expected to see Sean, but saw his message that he wouldn't be 
there due to other obligations.

I would second that, but not consider it a requirement.
