I have now met one (1) Mudcatter in the real, live, flesh. We had dinner together and a great time. Too bad it was in a restaurant and we couldn't get a singin' going, but the next time I'm around that way maybe we can.

I almost met Open Mike, but I wasn't here when she came through. I also almost met Sorcha, but we were at different truckstops at the same time. I've spoken to both Sorcha and Alice on the phone.

I'd go to Getaway if I could; likewise Rainy Camp. But I don't get to the meetings of groups I belong to here, and my vacation time is sadly limited. Otheres, I'm sure, have the same problem.

If I could, I would. I'd love to host six or eight or more here. But you all will have to take the thought for the deed.
