He Leslie, sorry about that, I thought I booted him from the group but I guess I forgot to hit submit, but it is done now. I hope you won't leave. Your costume is awesome btw.

Hi Leslie - Wish there was a way we would know when we have a shout ... I forget to check. Thanks for the kind words about "Fraasti" - Alice (Wetlandernw) gets credit for encouraging me to write something this year. I think JordanCon would be a blast and a half, but probably the only way I would be able to pull it off is if I am fortunate enough to be assigned to a customer somewhere in the Southeast around that time. Then I can usually fiddle with travel to make it doable.

No snowballs for me please. I can't stand this snow. But if you don't head my warning I am getting a NERF sniper rifle....so payback will be on the agenda. You will have a fun time explaining to your coworkers why you look like you look like a nerf pincushion. LOL

Thanks. Appreciate it. Very bad 24 hours until the cancer doc said he's confident the tumor is benign. I'll be happy when it's out of her and confirmed ok. Rob

Thank you Lannis- your thoughts are very much appreciated. It is nice to get a word-hug every once in a while:) It was unexpected and not what I was going for, but thanks. I was actually being kinda er... ego centric. I do what I do for me, not for scratches behind the ear or replies, but sometimes, heck daily, I feel the need to get thoughts off my chest and this is my outlet. This is my catharsis. That folks read what I have to say is gravy. Woof™.

Probably not. I personally can't afford it, and am trying to find employment. Besides, trying to convince my mom to fly to Atlanta is like trying to talk Rand out of breaking the Seals... ;)

I was but will not be able to attend. My oldest son is graduating from the Air Force so I will have to go to Texas in early March. Thus I will not have the funds to go to Georgia in April. Maybe next time.

What was her name? Is there a list of names that we know?

Great, I will hopefully see you guys there!

Thanks for the b-day shot, I mean shout;) Tess
