This is one of the fastest growing threads in a long time.
I'm thinking back to that Friday night... October 30, 1998... the lobby of the Howard Johnson hotel (right across from the Watergate!) where old friends met for the first time.
None of us wanted that night to end, and the next day was even better.
In my mind, those days never DID end!
I'll never forget it! My back was turned, someone bellowed EXIT148!! I turned and there you were!!! You really really made a first impression!! And then I hugged a stranger ---- who was one of my best friends!!!
