[Rhodes22-list] Michaels Boat trip with family

[michael meltzer]

it is a boat, damit, I want to go where boats go, been
to mystic a number of times, great place but a little
"played out" for the family. But do keep the ideas
coming. Thier was a show about the best reset stops
across the contry, maybe that is a idea, a tour of the
best resetrooms? -mjm
