Blogfest 2005
Well, Mamamontezz and I got safely home after a long, but enjoyable drive lasting from 6:30 PM Sunday to 8:35 AM Monday. She even let ME do all the driving! For those of who don't know Mama, thats...unusual, to say the least.
We had an INCREDIBLE time at the Blog-fest, everyone there went out of their way to make us feel, not just welcome, but like a part of their extended family.
All Kudos to Beth and Lord Spats for a truly wonderful experience being had by all.
I finally found a cowboy hat that really fits, as a memento of the event.
The only disappoinment was that Kim du Toit and Connie couldn't get away to put in an appearance, but hopefully, maybe next year...
One of the highlights for me was to finally meet Misha for the first time in the meat world; he was even more of a gentleman than I had thought.
Sometimes you meet people in person you have only known on-line and are disappointed with the reality, but I must say that EVERYONE who attended was even better in person.
To that one person who knows who he is, that item for the boat-anchor computer has been ordered, and should arrive in a week or so. I am eternally grateful for your kindness and generosity.
I'm going to bed and sleeping for an extended period....more to come later.
It was cool meeting Mama and you Delf. Pretty much everyone there DID feel like family. So, I award you and Mama, the status of Honorary Grandparents. (Naturally, this means little to nothing, so far anyway.)
