I'm here! And my thread has been mangled! Oh the agony of it all.

I'm not sure I remember the fine language I used in my first post. Essentially I wanted to set up a harmless and fun competition in which the undisputed king of the hill (in meeting our brothers and sisters) was challenged for his title. I have no real interest in "winning" but it seems a good way to spend the next couple of years. And even if I "lose" I will have won because I will have met a lot of damn fine people.

Plus, the "competition" is open to anyone who cares to join in. I intend to use this thread to post the names of those I've met. I invite others to join in the fun. Susan and Dick are probably good contenders as must be Sandy and Caroline.

I guess, basically this is just a good excuse to travel and go to parties. Anything wrong with that?
