See all that RED INK? Me too.

This was a weirdly amazing Itinerary characterized by a not only a high degree of flash irritability, but a more developed eye for the beauty that surrounds us, and dawning realizations that the Universe has told me to keep to myself, because really, truly, it's true, we have to learn for ourselves.

Insanely and inexplicably, I love these cars the more. I enjoyed my customers just another increment more. Some day, I will actually screw up the nerve to ASK to stay for dinner or a beer . . .

Well, you know that anytime you're passing through Sacramento, I'm good for a lunch or dinner if I myself am in town.

Its one of my greatest wishes that you would stay for dinner and a beer. I’m going to start asking again. Although, I think you’ve had enough of me by the end of the day.

I just want to say thank you for doing what you do. There are people like me that need you.
Dinner, shower or a camp spot is always welcome for you here.

Well, I wish you didn't have the red ink in my inaugural IAC year. But I very much enjoyed your visit and if you're willing, I look forward to many more. Next year my wife should be in town and can at least make a much better lunch than I did. AND of course, you are very welcome to stay for one of her delicious dinners. Heck, you can throw in a load of laundry if you like.

Colin,

I don’t believe you would have to ASK anyone, if you include in your instructions, that dinner dates are encouraged. Heck, you’re always in such a rush to your next “date” that I never asked. I will from now on, but I don’t take rejection lightly ;)

All the best. Keep doing what you do, it’s appreciated.
