    I’m glad you enjoyed your visit to San Francisco and had a nice VT meeting at L'Osteria. I see you have signed up for the Paris meetings in September, so I look forward to meeting you there.

    Bed Bugs! I stayed in room 506 and at 11:30pm I woke up feeling little itchy things crawling on my face and arms. It didn't hurt, but it began itching and swelling.
