Kim/Trish!!
Hey Wisconsin!!! (That's what I was called on a cruise to the Greek Islands that was mainly Europeans - at that time, I wasn't living here in Texas!!) Know Oshkosh fairly well (since I've been gone over 25 years) - it has grown as well, especially the phenomenal air show that started out so meekly, and has now grown to such dimensions!! Yes, I agree - Door County has grown far too expensive - that's what I hear from my friends that still live there. But I still think there's few places in the Midwest that can compare during the fall colors -

As for Brett - I think he's doing a lot of thinking over the next few months, and was a bit "prejudgmental" right after the loss to Philly and all the interceptions he threw (he probably felt a bit better after Philly did the same to the Falcons & Michael Vick!!) A lot will do with his family situation, too - he was willing to give up all up for his wife, and her health & welfare is important as well. I think he'll come back - he's still a great quarterback, and really doesn't want to end it this way - and those interceptions came from his receivers going on the wrong routes.

You'll love Ida & Wes - they're a fun couple to be around!! Both are very "active" and lively - they're like the Energizer Bunnies - they keep going and going!! I'm very very envious - I'd love to go to the South Pacific one day!!

Take care!!
