    man I haven't been on this thing in awhile. Thanks for the comment you left me in February! I thought the music had a nice touch. It's always a pleasure to have you as a judge. Will you be doing so at coffee fest for the northwest regional? if that's where it's at.. I'm heading off to Colorado again for the 2010. I can't wait! what's new with you Michelle?
