Don’t get me wrong. Nothing better than to observe with friends. Last November Ron B(ee) dropped in here from San Diego and old Don Parker drove up from Miami to observe and hang out. The sky was clear and seeing “10” so we had a ball and we had a great time enjoying the great sky we have here. It is that organized astronomy seems to be more for socialites and the lonely than for working amateur astronomers. Again, not all organized astronomy is evil in my eyes; it is just too many of such events are not productive. Maybe it’s just when they grow older they tend to get boring to some of us.

'Tis was great to have the grand opportunity to see you again and met Don Parker . I learned a lot that night, esp. the fine jokes Don was sharing . Wishing I had all night to spend.

Though work has kept me away for quite a while now , this is Mars year again and somehow I'll manage to spend a lot of time this year with it (have been waiting since last week for a clear morning sky ).

Hope to hear a lot from you in the CN forums on Mars.
