Maybe you can donate it to some children's charity down there.
Interesting that you mention that. This raffle was a charity raffle
that supports a horrible, and usually fatal, childhood disease. Last
year I donated over $5000 to them. I also donate to other charities but
it's fun to have the opportunity to win something while I do it. I have
also "won" five Ruger gun auctions that benefit the Matt Light
Foundation - look it up, they support kids. Those auctions totaled
roughly $7500. In March I will be touring the Ruger facility in NH and
also spending a day at their range with Matt Light. I also bid $7800
for two seats to Saturday Night Live. That money goes to - you guessed
it - a children's charity.

That's about $20,000 to children's charities for 2015 and roughly $5000
to other charities. I don't need you to tell me where to donate my
money or to decide how many guns I need.

Who has benefited from your contributions this year? There's still
time. Take a look at charitybuzz.com You might even find something you
can afford.

Most likely Don won't acknowledge that you put him in his place. But, I will.

Good job.

Are you driving or flying to NH? If driving, plan to stop by. We have a spare
bedroom.

At least he shut up. He's a strange guy.

I'll be flying. It's too far to drive and my friend from TN is meeting
me there so I'll be traveling solo. I appreciate the offer! I do want
to take the wife to DC for a vacation. She's never been there and there
is so much to see. We have a lot planned for 2016 so it might not be
next year but we'll take you and your better half out to dinner if we
can make it work!

Merry Christmas, John!

Just let me know when. I always like to take visitors to town at night for their
first visit. Most of the memorials are much more impressive under lights, and the war
memorials are especially nice at night.
