I used to know a hanglider - if he wasn't such a horndog and I wasn't married at the time, I might have given that sport a try.

Still have tomorrow to go. I'm tired and will be glad when it's done. Can't stop for very long as there is the Camporee in October to plan, the Winter Cub camp for the week between Christmas and New Years and then the 06 Summer camp all over again. It never seems to stop. Oh well.

It never seems to stop. But the cause is noble. Without dedicated leaders, these boys could be in a world of hurt. Thanks for your part in molding these young guys.
