Hey, Brewster,

I live in Sacramento and would be happy to take you to dinner while you're in our fair city! Other than Saturday night (goddaughter's birthday party in Fremont) I'm free.

Let me know...

Happy New Year!

Looks like dinner with BCBertie and Rocky. Ironman, I could see how 10 hours round trip might be a bit much. Maybe another time.

So, dinner tomorrow night at Tex Wasabi's, 2243 Arden Way, Sacramento. Just a couple of blocks from Cal Expo and the International Sportsman Exposition. Aiming for 6:30, and very much looking forward to meeting Brewster, Rocky, bride, and father-in-law.

Anyone else in the general area is more than welcome!

Cheers!

Brew and John,
It was absolutely wonderful meeting you guys and Brew your cousins Will and Delli. I wish John you could have met up with us Saturday. I saw Brew in action!!! Wow does he ever know his stuff !!! Melissa and I were so impressed with the knowledge Brew has of his techniques and profession. Not enough time to really get into everything I'd like to cover, oh well I guess that's what rendezvous are for right!
John let's go fishing sometime even if it's charter without a bertram- I have a local brother I don't have to fly 3k miles to see! We can take the SeaSwirl 22ft easy to go anywhere.
Melissa really got into Brew's description of his techniques, wants to fly out Brew!

Rocky , Brew;

Ditto! I so enjoyed Brew, Will and Adele (Deli? Dellyi? Delly? Wondered how she does spell it?), your lovely bride Melissa and her dad, Wayne! Really enjoyable evening that was too short for me.

Glad you got to see him perform yesterday; I'm hoping to be able to go over there in a couple of hours to see the finals. Depends on how quick I get my "honeydew" chores done, but I'm trying!

And looking forward to spending some time with you guys. I concentrated a bit on Brew's aunt and uncle as I didn't want them to feel too left out, but that means I didn't get to talk to you nearly enough. Besides, we're just a valley apart...

Cheers!

John

Rawleigh,

I have no idea. Brew said the finals would be at 5:30, but when I got there at 4:30, there was no one around and the whole show closed at 5. I sent him a text, but I'm sure he's traveling...

Hopefully he'll check in tomorrow and let us know!

Cheers!

John
