[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

...this will be memorable for your children!!!

Last night, after supper, I sat down with my son in front of the TV. (Girl child decided to watch a DVD on the home theater downstairs, and Mrs. Chairman went upstairs to check her e-mail.)

After a few moments, my son blurted out, "I'm really looking forward to this trip."

It seems the Torch's chances are getting very dim here in Jersey since admitting to his "mistakes"....hehehe!

Now Chair, being a ex cop, I can give you some real good stories to tell if you get speeding. The best, having a bad case of 'have to go, have to go', trying to make it to a service station. No policeman in their right mind will challenge you on this. DO NOT say you are trying to get to the hospital, wife sick, he will end up escourting you. Stay with 5 or 10 miles over the speed limit, best 5 and you will probally be OK, UNLESS the patrolmans capt has gotten onto him for not writting enough tickets. With me, the truth always worked best, I would let them slide a lot of times with the truth.

I have wonderful memories of our trip west when my son was 10 (I was expecting daughter at that time). He particularly enjoyed the cowboy stuff, but wasn't so big on scenery.

I remember looking back at him while we were driving through beautiful mountain passes and asking him why he was reading a Hardy Boys mystery.

"Well, mom, you've seen one mountain, you've seen them all."

LOL!

You will have a wonderful time.
