The early birds are filling the nest.

Deb Holl is opening the registration room at noon today, so early birds can check in for the NMA reunion. And we are arriving in droves. Well, small droves, but still.

The Gambles just pulled up to the hotel. Rehearsal Director John Branham looks wonderful--he's lost a lot of weight, and claims to have left half of it back in Indianapolis. His wife was with him, so it's clear that what he left home wasn't his better half.

And, of course, everyone has brought their electronic Devices. They read them, listen to them and, in the Case of Deb Holl, talk to them. It's a new world.

NMA President Terry Chesson introduces the Martells to his Device.
