Hanna and I are doing great. Haven't met up with any HAT Freepers yet (other than anymouse and PetroniDE in the past), but that will change on the 12th I am sure.
Having grown up in upstate NY, right on the Vermont border, I am quite familiar with Vermont. When I left the area 25 years ago, I joked that pretty soon Vermonters would have to get permission from the government just to take a crap. You could see the state gov't stifling the people way back then. The question is, what took them so long to figure it out? I say, good for Killington!
