Yeah I was just up there in April. I usually go then and at Christmas. She has lived there since 1979.

Do you ever go clubbing (dancing) there? I've been going to The Club / Club Octane in Monterey since 1984. Use to be crowded until they closed Fort Ord, but now it has gotten busy again.

Welcome Matt, Debi, Mark, Chris, John, Erik, Laura, Dangy, Johnny, Brian, Nick, Jayne, Kate, Andrea, WC, and Lizzie (and I apologize PROFUSELY if I left anyone off -- obviously I need to visit here more often)

Glad to see a couple new Northern Virginians! (PIM, I'm counting Fredericksburg even though I'm not sure if Fredericksburgians want to be considered in that group or not. )
