The IA/MN/KS Hotluck was wonderful. My wife and I had a great time, and now she has a better understanding of why I like the CH List so much... the people are truly great. She also has an appreciation for the term "ring-o-fire". I comforted her, saying, "This too shall pass." To anyone considering going to a hotluck: By all means, go! Don't sit around wondering what the people on this list are really like. Get out and meet them! You won't regret it. Scott... no longer a hotluck virgin... KCK
