RI Convention 2011 in New Orleans!

Greetings from New Orleans, host of the 2011 RI Convention.  Just to prove that no matter how far you get from home, some things stay the same.  And Nancy and Tom thought they were going to miss the Mules this year.  Already a great turnout for the preconvention meetings--and the entertainment for the opening session on Sunday this year includes Michael Martin Murphey (also of Mule Days fame) and Lacy J. Dalton.  True, it's not as good as being in town for Mule Days, but it is pretty cool.  More pics later!
