I have returned. Alive, surprisingly. I wasn't planning on being home until late tonight, but we were...well...vacationed out. Good trip, but time to come home, so we left mid morning instead of late afternoon.

I dare say....the hour or so I spent with you all was a definite highlight of my trip. I learned that NA isn't quite as scary as I thought (she talks so much she couldn't sneak up on anyone, so the stalking fear is gone now), ISM does not, in fact, have horns, and MBC does have enough restraint as to not jump me right there in the gallery.

I would have truly loved to have spent more time.

I am very glad I got there early. Better to meet three or four at once and then a couple at a time as they come in.

My toaster and waffle iron are in my office, though have not yet vbeen given the place of honor that they deserve. And wouldn't you know....somehow that Mickey Mouse picture was in front of the picture that was given to me in the frame - even before I got back to my family. I have no idea how that happened.

Morrigoon, I'd be rioght with you in the libertarian party should they ever find candidate for national office that wasn't a kook. OK, they've had a couple, but most are kooks.

Lisa, I figured you knew my last name before I got there, and am disappointed that you didn't. You had my picture, and from where you got the picture you knew the name of the school I coach at, and the school has a website, and the website has my name listed with the coaches.

I thank you all for your kindness and generousity - the gifts were funny, and kind, though certainly unnecessary. The offer of fireworks seating was also very nice, but we got great seats on the curb of the hub facing the castle at 7:00. Allowed the kids and wife to rest a bit, elder waughter and I rode Space Mountain with fast passes, ate ice cream, blah, blah, blah.

And Lisa.....I let you find me. So neener.

WB, I hope you are having fun....you're on your way now, right? Scrooge and Sac, I deeply regret that I was not able to meet you in person. KatieSue, so nice to have another newbie there. To all those who were unable to attend (Blueerica, S Maniac, CM, Jdr, and anyone else I left out), I hope to some day.

Kevy, GD, CP, Ism, MBC, NA, Euro, ML, BFL, Gus Gus, LSPoor, Tom and those that I have left out, it was a privilige.

Edited to add: Hey, uh, mods....someone went and messed with my avatar. This should most certainly be a no-no. I have removed it.
