    Ann Rutledge - It's Happening

    Just as I had suggested. Well done, Gardner. You may have finally earned my respect. Perhaps you really are serious about this after all. However... let's see it actually take place, first.

    My gal and I have tickets to see Guns N' Roses and Mammoth (Wolfgang Van Halen) next week. I greenlit this trip at the last minute over much financial anxiety, and I want to book a hotel room tonight before the prices go up yet again. We found a wonderful little hostel-type place, but me, a...

    St. Louis-San Diego Summer Trip

    If I can get the money and get a good price, my gf and I want to finally take our first LD cross country trip on the SWC to visit my sister's family in SAN before they move, and in case the Chief gets screwed over. But I'm having a very difficult time justifying the cost. We don't quite live...
