P.S. to Andy: If he was really in the Northeast, then twice a month would be too much - he's be spending 4 days a month just getting to and from, and he'd be jet-lagged ALL the time. After many years, I've determined about one week every five to be optimal for my situation; YMMV, of course. Anyway, Rands' guy is in the NorthWEST, in which case twice a month is totally reasonable (maybe for just 3 or 4 days each instead of a full week).
