hope you and Rob enjoy this spectacular movie --I wanted to go again -it would have been well worth the cause...but will hold out to see the Fred LeBow movie again...I hope that we can all run some with Charlie as he finishes his run across the US...and what did he say when he called in?? -can't wait to hear where he was and what he said.
