Dang, Genie! Will miss you. And Rap, this was the year I was gonna settle down long enough to get beyond a casual hello and welcome in 3-D with the music stand to engage in meaningful conversation - was too star-struck previous years. Simply left me stuttering in nervous anticipation. !2 months of wasted psychotherapy....

Some old friends I will miss, and some prospective new friends to meet....not to mention some old friends to joyously see again.

Who else?
