This is my last (scheduled) trip for this year (unless you count that we leave for the New Year's event on December 27).   We leave this morning for the Augusta Heritage Center in Elkins, WV.   October Old Time Week.   This week I'm taking an intermediate fiddle class with Erynn Marshall, pictured at right, and Betty's working as a staff assistant with the elderhostel folks.

October Old Time Week is followed immediately by the Old Fiddler's Reunion next weekend, so we'll be back on Sunday next.


Since we invaded Iraq on March 20, 2003:

      2,791 U.S. service members killed.  78 so far just this month.

     20,687 U.S. service members wounded.

     - Iraqi civilian deaths estimated at between 44,380 and 49,297 

          in "W"'s War.
