A great time was indeed had by all.
As John said above, I arrived early (about 12:30) to chat and catch up for a bit, as I had to leave at 3pm to get to work at the Cathedral downtown. After I was finished, I happily went back for more "fun" and to see the rest of the group, as only Bill Wood and Joe Kassock had arrived by the time I left.
It was absolutely wonderful to catch up with old friends, with people I haven't seen in YEARS, and to meet new friends as well.
Thanks for your hospitality, John! I still can't believe that I was up until 2am talking with you, Rob Shore, and Bill!
Are we still on for dinner on Tuesday? I look forward to chatting some more.
Your mini convention was, as always, a roaring success.
Happy Hoovering, all!
