I've gotta share a funny that happened last night.

I had never been to this restaurant, so when I arrived, I said I was with a group.

I was escorted to the back bar, where there were people mingling, and a woman sat at a table with name tags ready to be filled out.

The woman smiled as I asked "Is this the FReeper group?"

She said, "Do you mean CCGALO?" I said no, and went to ask the hostess if she knew about a FreeRepublic gathering. She said that CCGALO was the only group scheduled to meet there that night.

Hmmm. Maybe they are going undercover. Maybe there was an Al Qaeda threat or something, so they had to throw them off.

I had to ask. "What's CCGALO?"

"Collin County Gay And Lesbian Association."

That's not the Free Republic I remember. No way would they go that deep undercover.

I said "Is there another Cozymel's around here?"

"Sir, this isn't Cozymel's. Cozymel's is next door."

And so it was.

I have to say it was great to meet Mr Robinson at the Bush inauguration. My wife was very impressed that such a humble man had accomplished so much.

It was also cool to meet all of my felow FReepers although it was ometimes jarring to realize that someone I thought was mal was actually female and vice versa. LOL.

I am so jealous.......!!!!!

I wanted to come so bad but my husband was too hard to get away from the house. I wanted to meet and shake the hand of Jim Robinson. Also wanted to meet you Meek and all the other Dallas freepers.

Think I'll go in there and rant and rave at him about how I always go where he wants but does he reciprocate? No, guess not.

Excellent reporting! SD you have a real flair! It is so fun to have pics to place with Freeper names. I must say...SSUA is a very handsome man! Jim Rob's comment are priceless. Thank you for sharing. I live in AZ and hope someday to have the privilege myself to Mr. Robinson.

Thanks for the report and pictures. We are still thrilled about Jim and Sheila's visit to Columbia MO on Memorial Day. We just realized the distances they are traveling to visit with all of us and are thankful to have been able to have lunch with them. I know that you all enjoyed meeting with them.
