Apologies for the delay in my reply -- I've been swamped.  My travel
schedule is pretty packed, and unfortunately doesn't include anywhere
near Kentucky -- Pittsburgh and DC is as close as I get.  But if I
ever do end up in your neck of the woods, I'll be sure to pay the
Lexington Mongers a visit.

Cheers,
