That's very nice of you. I'll add you to the ping list. My wife emailed me a few pictures:
I'm always disappointed when I see someone for the first time after I've talked to them on the phone or net for an extended period of time. I don't know about you guys, but the people that I speak to on the phone never look the way that I envision them. It's shocking to see someone that sounds like Rush on the phone, but looks like Robert Byrd in real life. I have to remind myself not to get mad at whoever it is I'm meeting. I try to "sneak a peek" at them so that I'll have time to sort it out in private. I usually just run the problems under my breath, "Damn him! He's supposed have a long white beard and a tan. But nooooooo. He has to be an obese guy with a handlebar mustache." Then I calmly walk over to the person and start the meeting. I guess the point is this: If you envisioned me as snake charmer with a goatee, I'm sorry.
