Something got into its little pea brain that made it think you wanted to
be in Rochester.

Steve would have to check that out; it's nothing I'd know where to to
look for.

I did enough times as a kid that I can pass on it now.

 ML> My record was 24 trail miles with a sizable mountain

I've not done that much of a hike in one day. The right knee has been
less than great since my freshman year in college (major traumatic
injury) and my folks were never into serious hiking when I was a kid.

We have a standard range but if people want to try grilling beef, we've
several options there.

 ML> I wonder how that idiom came about.

Haven't the foggiest notion!

Some numbers were pretty good, others, pretty forgettable.

 ML> It's easy to omit and easy to add for those who miss

Probably had it as one garnish too many.
