Great pics! Looks like you had a lot of fun. It's great to see what some of you look like, I haven't seen any freepers since the Palo Alto rallies of election 2000. You guys all look so friendly.
Great pics of Jim and Sheila!
You folks still stopping in Phoenix, AZ?
Please add me to your Texas ping list. Thanks!
I've added you. Thanks. :^)
Yes. We should be arriving in Phoenix Thursday evening and will depart sometime Friday afternoon.
I am really sorry to have missed getting to meet you. I had planned to be at the party.
I had been in San Antonio at the Republican Convention the previous weekend and had just barely gotten back into town and was scrambling to catch up on things.
(BTW, while at the Convention, I was elected to be the 2004 Presidential Elector from my District, following in the footsteps of my father who was the 1952 Presidential Elector for Eisenhower, representing the same general area.)
I was over in Dallas during that day, and I kept thinking there was something I had really planned to do on the 8th, but I couldn't remember what it was and I didn't have my calendar with me. It would have been sooooo much closer for me to go to Plano from downtown Dallas than from home which is about 120 miles round trip.
Unfortunately, since I had not had access to my email for several days, I didn't discover I had missed it until the next day when I was about to take off for the restaurant. Thankfully, I called before I took off a day late and a dollar short.
Oh, well. Maybe next time. In any event, I'm glad you and all the other FReepers had a great time!!!
Hopefully, if you ever get back to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, maybe we can meet in the mid-cities area, e.g. Arlington or the Hurst-Euless-Bedford area, so it is a lot more centrally located within the metroplex than Plano.
Want us to organize a dinner with Phoenix area FReepers?
That would be great.
Thanks,
Jim
You guys have a food preference, or know what part of town you'll be in?
No food preference. We've got a reservation at the Candlewood Suites on I-17 just a few miles north of I-10 for Thurs night. Please check with Cyber Liberty and Slip18. They'd like to meet for dinner too.
Oh, well. Here's a bump for you :o)
Oh, I know. The one on my Profile Page has Red X'd too.I have that one saved on my computer and need to upload it and replace that one.
We saved the pics on an FR site, but I guess that they only last so long and are taken off. :^(
I didn't know that at the time.
Well, please ping me when you get those pix back up.
Okay, will do. Thanks! :^D
Here is the pic of Jim Robinson and myself from the June 8, 2004 get-together:I updated my Profile page with that pic now also.
From your profile page: For those of you who have never met Jim in person, he is everything you would expect and more. Lightning shoots from his eyes and fingertips, and he went around all night telling everyone to knock it off. :-)))
Too funny :o)
LOL! Isn't that hilarious ?? SerpentDove wrote that
and I borrowed it for my Profile Page with the pic.
It sure is :o)
