I'll make this quick for now, as I have to tend to some other stuff.
First, a huge thanks to Ray and his entire family for welcoming us into their home for this meet. As anyone who was there will surely attest, it would be hard to find more gracious hosts.
Second, thanks to Steve for setting this whole thing into motion. I've organized a few meets, and it can be a lot of work. The best ones go smoothly because of all the leg-work behind the scenes.
Third, thanks to everyone who brought gear and music to share with everyone. There was so much, including a wealth of riches in the form of orthodynamic headphones.
Like Steve, it seemed like I spent so much of my time just catching up with everyone. It's great to meet newer folks, and as one of the resident old timers, it's great to catch up with folks I've known both online and otherwise for so many years.
I'll be posting impressiongs later...it's been quite a weekend. That big soccer game that I was babbling about....they won, and a certain goalie was a BIG part of the win. His dad is very proud.
