North-east/NYC Cincy Caravan

[jfolkson at optonline.net (Jan Folkson)]

Hey Guys,

I'll speak to Susan about it, but I've got some floor space and a spare room
with a futon.  It'd mean an additional bridge though, but I'm only about 20
minutes out of your way.  I leave from NYC at about 6:00 - 6:30 to get to
Rich's and beat rush hour.  We usually try to leave Rich's by 9:00 - 9:30.
BTW, those of us from NYC know NOT to go through NYC, I skirt around to the
south.
