Well, the money exchanged at this event was far less than you are 
imagining.  Most money left our account last fall with the acquisition 
of the tool chest.   As with Mrs. Z, MLW spent most of the show time 
patiently guarding the hotel corridors.  Fortunately for me, she 
supports my pursuits, generally.

I'm disappointed in the lack galooterati enthusiasm for my new/old tool 
chest.  Here are a couple more pics.

Mrs. Tony Z, sitting in the corridor leading to the restrooms, asking "What so-
called treasures did you have to buy today?", as I walked out to leave.  "Not
much, didn't really need anything", I replied.  "Good" she said, "you have
enough and you're learning that you do".

hidden in my jacket pocket (for the new grandsons), as well as a tiny anvil.  My
daughter remained quiet, giving me a knowing look behind her mother's back.
