Wilf, thanks for the grammar and spelling grade. How am I to get better unless you point out my flaws?
Tom, it took me a while, as I'm typically pretty reserved, but I started coming out of my shell. The freedom from all stressful things in my life this weekend was incredible my friend.
Jim, I very much appreciated the ride buddy. After sitting in Turk's car, I enjoyed being able to talk with you while driving instead of yelling.
Wayne, you are truly a gentleman, and enjoyed the open discussions over lunch, breakfast, dinner, and a beer.

Will try to make it to R & G, but not certain yet.
Keith, there truly is a difference, and I think most wrinkles in online personality are smoothed considerably in person. In my case, Dan & Dave Semko were all the proof needed. They were great in person and enjoyed their company. Writing and speaking are entirely different forms of communication and interpreted differently.
I've been talking up the event to everyone who'll listen....Way to hard to concentrate on work after all the freedoms of this weekend.
