I'm in Memphis, so it's about an 8 hour drive, 6 if I'm on a motorbike. I've got a minister pal in LaGrange deserving of an overdue visit, so I could easily piggyback the two good reasons for a relaxing return to Georgia if I can shoehorn them into my work schedule, not impossible with enough lead time.
By all means keep me on any ping or FReepmail list, and let me know of your plans. I'd love to be able to make it, and that's an easy bike ride for me, and a quicker and easier plane trip.
