My wife and I took almost a week off for R&R this last week, and trekked to Orlando, FL.
I haven't been there in more than a month of Sundays, but man, what a good time we had. We did all the tourist garbage, well maybe not ALL, but much, and stayed off the computer for longer than I could imagine. It was very good to blow off some steam.
Here is where I thank the Guru and the Greek: Don Phelps and Pete Zaharopoulos (BigPete) took time from their busy schedules to have a LOOONG lunch on a Saturday with my wife and I.
Thanks guys! It was a highlight for me, and Tricia had a blast as well. I truly enjoyed actually seeing two of the terrific people I've only known on the phone and online since entering this field. You guys were great!
I know I'm gushing like a schoolgirl here, but meeting these fellas was a lot like sitting down with Elvis and starting the conversation with, "I like to noodle around on the guitar a bit, and I sing in the church choir..."
As I said in Orlando, if either of you ever gets near Omaha, I want to hear from you as soon as possible; I owe you a lunch. Of course, you'd probably have to be sentenced to Nebraska to get you here!
And Pete, if you want to do some stubble-duck, quail, or turkey hunting; it's on me anytime you can make it.
