Hal Reichardt has gone on ahead into this uncharted territory and brought back a few treasures to share.

"To a deluxe apartment in the sky," as I recall. Sounds good. I'll take it. Or maybe that was George Jetson. I get confused. But I'm more determined than ever to enjoy this journey for all it's worth. Because we're no done yet. Are you in?
