Is anybody out there going to the level 3 class this weekend? I'll be there, and hope to meet some of you folks that I've only known in cyberspace, on this forum.
My name really is Anita. I'll probably be the only Anita there. It was interesting last November, meeting some of the folks this same way. Thanks, Agent B, for organizing that dinner that first night! This time, I believe, all our meals are already planned.
Our 17-year cicadas are singing loudly here in Maryland. They've been appearing regularly in this area since Colonial times, and probably long before that! Can you imagine living out a life cycle where you spend 17 years underground, drinking sap from tree roots, and then you emerge to become a flying cicada, looking to reproduce. And after a few weeks, it's all over! They have red eyes, and cannot see, so they fly into things.
I wish everyone the best with your next 17 years, and beyond! Keep your eyes open, and I'll do the same.
