Had a very good time at NEST this year even though I had to leave a day early due to real life invading my space once again. Lee and Skippy running the registration desk and having the usual unusual snafus was like being home again and I couldn't help but smile. I got to visit with some fellow old-timers too.
Lee Allure....As I was very tired Friday night, please correct me if I'm wrong. I think you maybe wanted some type of contest with me and called me a coward as I ran away and headed to my suite. First I didn't run away. I briskly walked away. Second, I walked briskly away because she is Lee Allure and an indestructable tickle/killing machine. Third, and make no mistake about this, I am a coward.
Rhino and the beautiful chicago are always a fun couple to be with. They work well together.
Two (Euphoracy and Skippy) of the fabulous Wives were there. We all missed the third tho, but life jumped in again. Maybe next year.
Milagros and I shared a table during most meals and we solved most of the World's problems again.......but swore ourselves to secrecy.
Viper made it and so did Kat who enjoyed scaring the living shit out of me when she hit me from the blind side. Now she will say she merely walked up but I believe she was hiding in the ceiling and dropped directly on top of me wearing a leatherface mask while weilding a machete!!! That's my story and I'm sticking to it....
Miss Jesse.......well, I teased her a bit...ok, a whole lot but she can give back what she gets. I miss her already.
Kang is always the gentleman. Look forward to seeing you again because I wanna talk guitars.
FilthyWeasel made a couple of appearences. We Scots (well I have some Scottish blood in the family somewhere) get along quite well.
Tim was around smoothing edges and keeping things running very well. And sometimes we got to talk a little. I will admit he is an asset to this gathering whether formally working it or not. A good man to have around.
Reverend Jamie once again showed what a guy with a grill can do and cooked one of the best meals of the year. His Amanda took the role of Hostess to the upper levels and directed the whole affair with ease. I enjoyed watching people's awe as she walked by lifting two tall heavy chairs without losing a step still holding a conversation with those helping. I wasn't all that surprised. Those chairs are nothing compared to her keeping the Rev on track...LOL
JPie and desdemona made sure I stayed in line.......as if I were trouble. No, really. I behaved. Kinda.
Rui showed up from Portugal. Glad to see him and catch up. He is now a fellow home owner and will get to experience the joys of non-starting lawn mowers and property taxes but in a different language.
MKeemer ....sorry I forgot to bring Sharknado III. Don't hold it against me.........or even near me. *bodda bing bodda boom!!*
To those familiar faces who's names I can't remember please forgive me. Except for Ted......I just remembered that name. Lots of energy in that guy. I don't have as much anymore and I am envious.
Lastly I want to say hello to the newbies and how they seemed to jump in effortlessly to this "wonderful delight of ours...*Pokey 2007*". And if we had a vote for Rookie of the Year mine would go to a pretty lady named Livi. It takes a lot of guts to get up and test yourself in front of strangers and you did yourself and us proud. All the rookies did.
To my old friends for whatever reasons could not attend maybe next year if the Fates are kind to us.
