Many thanks to SLAS and everyone on the committee for a fun Solstice Party. Kelly and I had an enjoyable time, ate way too much, and managed to take home a couple of raffle prizes. We now own one of the largest space books ever printed, or at least it seems that way. I didn't see who won the replica Palomar mirror that I donated, Charlie handed me the phone to talk to Bill Cowles just as it came up for raffle. Fun to just sit and talk for a while, with people we don't see nearly often enough. It seems this year has just flown by. Counting the party, I managed to make it to 9 meetings this year. It's been forever since my attendance was this good. Hoping to do better in 2014. We had to duck-out shortly afterwards since Kelly had to get up at 3:30 AM on Sunday morning. See you all in January at the first general meeting of the new year!
