If I was a few thousand miles closer I would definately take you up on that offer.

Yeah, the likelihood of any of you guys on the other side of the Atlantic showing up is slim at best, but it’s always worth a shot. One of these days, we are definitively coming over to the States to visit relatives and friends polarized over the North and East Coast with nobody in the middle, perhaps I could get in a workout with someone then. I’d really like to come to Canada, but all our relatives have decided to root in the States so that’ll be for later.

Kris,
One of these days, if I can find decently priced tickets, I will take you up on your offer. However it will have to be over a different weekend as that’s our wedding anniversary. But if the offer still stands in a few years and all works out well, I’d make that trip.
One of these days I’d like to take a lifting trip. Basically stop and lift where I know people from the internet. Right now I’d be doing a lot of driving as I don’t know a lot of people close together…But I still think it would be fun to do it!

I will most definitely second the copious amonuts of food-thing. And the rest too, come to think of it.

Chris D., that sounds promising! Barring drastic changes in circumstances, I can see this turn into an annual invitation. When that time comes, just let me know what would be good dates for you and I’ll make it fit at my end. Welcome!

For a variety of reasons, this got pushed back to this weekend. Tomorrow we leave for Toffe’s, a report of this epic outing will appear later.
