Hey Dale and Sheryle - we didn't have to go through all that but we did get held up for a little over an hour because of a lightbulb that needed changing ...

[Auntie Mame]

Wow. This is worthy of its own post. Care to repost it as its own thread? Really really excellent. I missed a lot of what you have in your notes. Thank you.

Damn Jim, I thought your were going to call my room so we wouldn't be wearing matching outfits. You know how tacky that is? I thought I had an original Gucci.

(Doing my level best to keep from asking how many Freepers it takes to change a light bulb ...) ;)

My feet are like wings, dear lady. The only thing I'd like to add before I do is some more flesh to the "Internet Activism" section. I had to leave during a good portion of that, and would appreciate any other folk's notes during that portion of Saturday's proceedings to add to the record.

[A Navy Vet]

Yeah, I'd be grinning to if I had all those lovely ladies hanging around me.

Strela, it was so nice to meet you. Thank you for the compliment, I would say from your article, incisive would fit you. Enjoyed the lunch at the Kuhuna(?)on Sunday. Those bartenders were something, weren't they!

Hope to see you next year.

I think that was the best part of the whole trip - just to be able to sit down in a semi-quiet environ and talk one-on-one with you, Taxman, Lowbridge, and everyone else at the table. There was so much conference material, activities, and excitement on Saturday and the Sunday AM meeting that I really didn't have my "company manners" on.

People I trust tell me that I come across as a total jerk until I get to know them, and I guess they're right. I'm glad that I know you now.

(And hey, if there's free alcohol to be had, you won't have to look very hard to find me) ;)

The pleasure was all mine. Be well, and may our paths cross again soon.

Thanks for the additional details -- I'm taking them to heart (spare me? please don't!). I hope you have recovered well from the trip & excitement! -- cynic#456,789

Thanks for the new pics, Cyber!

OPH and Slip: you two are sooooo cuuuuute!

Hey everybody! Come see!

[Slip18]

OPH is such a wonderful man, .30.

It was weird. I had never met OPH before. I knew it was OPH the second I saw him. He has such presence!

It's that "you were always my FRiend" thing. Some day I'll meet you, too, I hope!

See if you can talk Jim into coming to Vermont next time - Stowe, for instance, has great conference facilities! ( ;

[Just another Joe]

Yep, that looks like OPH.

Though I get the feeling that it's usually his wife. ;^)

[dalereed]

How many democrats did it take to change the light bulb?

[Slip18]

I hope so, too, .30. You know how much I care for you. When I found out how happy you were, it made my happy.

God Bless you and Tiger, .30.

[Just another Joe]

HAHAHA There's your answer.

[Slip18]

Usually, for sure. But this time, I got the hugs. And Cyber took the photo!
