Brian-

Glad to have indulged.  <<<" I didn't understand a single sentence in
this write-up but I was still LMAO.">>> 

Ahhhhhh, then...  my job here is well-done.  Remember what Schultz Seyz!
And yes, sadly, ohsovery sadly...  one cannot make this stuff up - nope.
When in doubt - don't ask.  

Now, don't discount the JNR potential of your Prestige 500, no.  Gotta
be some Listerfriends you can meet or make for that matter in the
Portland area.  What fun would business trips be otherwise I wonder???
Pick up rental, meeting of the mindless occurs, and things go downhill
from there (sometimes literally).  Isn't Craig secretly JNR Lebakken
near those woods?  C'mon now, get creative.  You can doooo eeeeeeeeet!
Don't leave all the fun (JNR) to us Northeastern'ers now.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Aaaah, Paulie. A classic. I didn't understand a single sentence in
this write-up but I was still LMAO.

So, this talk got me inspired to check into what rental options I had
whence I head to Portland to give a talk in a couple of weeks: the
Prestige collection in Portland has such offerings as the Lincoln
Zephyr. They do have an A4, but what's the point? Sadly, I'll just
stick with whatever Ford 500 they hand me...

Cheers,
Brian
