Unfortunately, it doesn't look like me and the family are going to be able to make it to the picnic after all
Our pharmacy apparently didn't get (or lost) the message from my son's doc about an increase in dosage in his meds for diabetes insipidus and are giving us flack about refilling the perscription and a 3hr road trip with a 8yr old without those meds quickly turns into a major undertaking.

I hope you can get the prescription matter ironed out soon. Those insurance companies can be a real PITA sometimes.

My wife Mary and I had had a great time at the Picnic. I would like to thank Rick and his family for all the hard work they put into the event to make it the sucess that it was. It was nice being able to put a face to names of the people i have enjoyed talking to on the forum. I really hope we get a chance to do this again.

Had a great time. Have to do it again sometime 

I am not a pacifist. Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty. Life belongs to those who do not fear to lose it

Was out of town and came straight from the airport, so I didn't get there until things were breaking up. From the few people I did meet, however, I can say I'll be looking forward to another, and meeting the rest of you.

We had a great time. It was well worth the 145 mile drive.
