<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;, &quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:blue;">Funny
how things (don’t) work out.&nbsp; We <b><i>are </i></b>going to visit my
son in Boston this spring.&nbsp; But, it’s going to be the first week in
May, three weeks later.&nbsp; (sigh!)&nbsp; </span></p> 

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;, &quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:blue;"> &nbsp;</span></p> 

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;, &quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:blue;">So
I’m pretty much in the same boat as Larry.&nbsp; Which is kind of scary
all by itself.&nbsp; </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;, &quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:blue;">I
hope all Groopies within a few hundred miles take the opportunity, if possible,
to see Sergio.&nbsp; It is always a great experience.&nbsp; And be sure to tell
him you are one of the Groop!</span></p> 

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;, &quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:blue;"> &nbsp;</span></p>
