    It would be great to meet you. I work at D/FW airport, so even if it works out that we can't spend anytime together, I can at least try to meet you at the gate , and say hi.
    Check your PM's for my work, and home phone numbers.

      Prom, I'm a bit worried about wearing all leather myself. With my physique, I would resemble a football.

          I have mine in a sort of bun around the house because it's so long now it gets in the way when eating and sleeping. I got sick of that dream where someone's tugging on your beard to try to wake you up only to wake up and discover the beard is stuck under your arm!

          As for the bike, I tuck it into my helmet as best I can and wear the chin strap on the outside which tends to keep things under control.

          On long Highway runs though, the little wind that reaches me behind my Windjammer eventually pulls everything out and I get whipped to death so I 'bun up'

          A tip though, make sure you un-bun before you go in to pay for fuel. Latest comment - 'Must be a new type of Sikh!'

            I have my girls hair ties hanging on every turn signal and mirror stalk of every bike that I own. If I don't tie my goatee into a ponytail, it splits in two and whips me on the back of my neck. On bikes with windshields it poofs up in front of my face, tickles my nose and inpeeds my vision.
            I have not seen my chin since 1996.

              YES!!

              I'm not the only one!!!!!!

              BTW: I haven't seen my chin since 1985. I've just varied the length of the covering. My wife has >>NEVER<< seen me without a beard. The current length is a product of the past 3-4 years of no cutting.

                        Perhaps it was unfair to say boys mother is evil .. nope.. sounds about right ..kinda miss the boy .. but REALLY good game .. no one to decorate the easter carrot or help set Tooth Fairy snares , Which I will not go into but suffice to say they invole pressure switches ,BBQ skewers ,3 pats of butter and a somewhat modifed turkey baster .. Not today Fairie... but SOON

                              Wildkat,

                              The powers that be have decreed that I will attend my function in Ft. Worth remotely to save $$$$$. There is always the possibility of a trip there at a future time, so all hope is not yet lost.
