I've seen the pictures and met certain people.

Canarsie even snapped a photo of the loyal servant whose full-time job was keeping the koi ponds filled.

I do think that it is but he must be out of town since his private 747 is nowhere in sight.

Check out El Paso Do -- it was the first time my wife & I met all of these clowns ... excuse me, all of these fellow travelers.

The ELP I, Ljubljana and ELP II DOs arose out of the WWBTNFTMTP thread in OMNI.

So glad to see you are being yourself - and I'm one of the clowns you've met twice (IAH and ATL).

I do remember first meeting MikeMpls in the restaurant at the ELP Marriott. I walked over to his table and asked if he were one of the FTers and he said "yes." After a few more pleasantries he introduced Kathy to me saying "And this is the wife unit."

To this day, we laugh about that.

If there is, I'll get some nice Woodford for you as long as it is after Lent ends - yes, I'm punishing myself for Lent.

And that picture was the only time that day, if I recall correctly, that you were in a vertical position.

The rest of the day at The Mansion™ you were taking up prime real estate on the couch in front of the TV and sawing a cord or two of firewood.

I do remember that as we were leaving, Franny asked me if the guy with the beard who was sleeping on the couch had awakened in time to go back to the hotel.

It's what happens when you spend your evening/nights entertaining your French cousins, but we can blame Scoow for that -- she stuffed me in her Miata (that was quite a feat in itself) and hit the road in search of my extended French family.
