That makes a lot of sense. I guess I was too hopeful. Because Y is so full, I'm now thinking, "VDB for the entire family?"

Actually, I live a few miles north of you. We're going to my wife's college reunion in western MA, and this would be the return leg. I'm hoping to see some sunshine after 8 months of rain here on the Oregon coast.
