I'm happy to read this news. And I'm happy you decided to keep your van. Everyone I know thinks I'm totally nuts for buying one. Its old, it needs a lot of work, etc etc. But just the few trips I've taken with it so far, also to escape my humdrum city life, have proven to me that I've made the right decision.
Party on Wayne!

Hurray! I'm so glad to hear this, too. Makes my heart smile, and makes me want to go out and give *my* van a big hug. 
Happy happy!

| Glad you're running again! And the high desert is a great place to go and center. So where in Vermont do you go for that? Some pretty good mountains, aren't there? |
