IC,

Please share my regrets and these special sentiments with all BWJ participants upon arrival.  I may be directly quoted, as follows: "Jimbo truly wishes he could be here to give us all the bird... just like he did last time."

I hate that I shall miss all the fun... arm wrestling competition, the bushwhacker-balladeering and Voyageur Rap sing-alongs, the who-can-carry-a-heavier-pack-than-Stumpy competition, etc. & so on.  I leave it for Kingfisher to chronicle these events accordingly for posterity.  Alas, maybe 2015 will be the year for me.

Meanwhile....

MAY THE FORCE (OF THE PINK FLAMINGO) GO WITH ALL OF YOU!!!
