That lunch *was* nice (and wouldn't you know we'd end up in a restaurant
with a clarinet screwed to the wall -- glad it was only a beat-up Vito...).
One of the major rewards of going to that convention was meeting people in
real life. There were so many missed connections, too -- I heard that
several people from the klarinet list were there whom I never did meet,
despite so many of us wandering around and peering at each other's name
tags. In fact, that was one way I *did* meet several from the list -- I
noticed them leaning in and staring at tags on passing bodies, and thought,
"Aha -- more cyberfolks, looking for familiar names when they don't expect
to recognize the faces," and made a point of crossing paths and looking at
their tags, too.

I'm very sorry to hear about your back, and hope you feel better soon.

Kerry and Edwards in 2004, because regime change begins at home!
