For some of my friends it just seems a little "strange" to have friends in the blogosphere that you read, talk and listen too several times a week if not daily. I agree--it just sounds peculiar. But I have experienced it once and now again--these folks are "real"I posted near the end of last year that I wanted to meet some of these people in person in 2009. I did this past week.
Rich Kirkpatrick, Joel Klampert, Alastair Vance, and my new friend Robert Comeaux. I had already met Dan Perkins, Pat Callahan, Mark Jaffrey, Chris Vacher and Fred McKinnon.

What a week! Great fellowship, Great friends, Great food, Great Music, Great Spirit, Great Word--what else can I say but GREAT!
