You are the "pigeon" not me. All I can do is emulate the real thing! As far as being a short distance from Las Vegas (pun intended), I guess such things are relative. Although Tucson is 65 minutes by air, it is 7 - 8 hours by car. For you, I guess it is only about 4 hours by air, but I imagine your wings get tired.

See you at the Convention in "ought two"!
