Hey Booner, loved your report of the Estes Park Games, wish we could have been there, maybe next year.  YOU DIDN'T GET A LOCK OF JAMESIE'S HAIR FOR ME!  >:(   I understand, you were too busy with a love sick elk.  ;D  You look great in your new kilt, should have entered the Bonniest Knees contest, bet you would have won.    ;)   Glad Harold was there to christen it, that's very important, everyone needs their kilt christened.  Sounds like you all were busy as a one armed paper hanger (no offence to one armed paper hangers).  It's great to see so many Thompsons finding their true home. 

I miss the brisk air out there but don't miss the deep snows.  We had a herd of about 200 elk winter in the valley across the road from our log house when we lived in the San Juan mountains, but no cow elk fell in love with John, guess it was the lack of a kilt.   ;D

Hey Booner, you're forgiven because you offered me their new CD, which I don't have.  ;D  I'll take it if you don't want it,  can't understand why you don't want it.   ::)  I'll send you my address by email and you let me know how much you want for it plus postage.  :D

Oh Mary, you know John.......my stubborn Taurus the bull.  Wish I could get him into a kilt, he looks so nice in a suit, I know he would look nice in a kilt.  ;)

I notice that Stu posted the cancellation of the 2009 New England Festival due to the economy. I checked our Estes Park Colorado Festival web site and they're still on, so let's get some organization going from our Colorado contingent. I don't know if Harold wants to come out and try to peek under my kilt again, but obviously anybody is welcome and sought after, from Colorado or not. Right Booner?

Booner and I have been planning for a continuing presence in CO.
  He will, no doubt, be in contact with all of you mountain men and asking for your assistance.
