Thanks, Harold & Josko! It looks like the govt. is flying me down on tuesday morning and flying me out on wednesday evening. i'll be at the sheraton in dania, fl, and i notice on a map that there is a canal called the 'tarpon waterway' right behind the hotel. since i'm not gonna have much time to travel to fish, i'm hoping that is an accurate name and not just a tourist thing. anyway, jed, meet me at the hotel. and if yo're carrying an open umbrella it will make it easier for the fbi, uh, me to recognize you...
