[Rhodes22-list] Gotta Move South - Suggestions?

[Lynn Hoffman]

stan,

the albemarle sounds great. i've been on it and it's everything you say it
is. now if you could just work it out so that you tie up the boat, step off
and find yourself in the italian market in south philly, i'd move there in
a second. . . .
