Adam, I think that your wife would enjoy herself if she went, but I understand about the kids. I'm sure that you will have a great time; all the knives there are interesting but I really go just to get together with so many terrific folks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> It is my one chance a year to get together and have a nice time. This year we will be driving and making a vacation out of it, stopping for a couple of days at my son's home near Huntsville Alabama before and after Blade. I woke up this morning thinking about Blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
