Today, I had the privilege of seeing my long-distance friend Alison again as we passed through her hometown.
In addition, I met for the first time Alison's husband Dave and my blogging friend Will Travis Inman. This was so cool! Will Travis (he goes by either, so I'll use both to avoid confusion) tricked me in the parking lot because he looks very official in his uniform. He had me half-convinced that people from Albuquerque were not allowed to park at that restaurant. Until I saw his nametag peeping out from under his jacket. :-) I also met the very nice Inman family, including Will Travis's wife Sarah and his children. Though my daughter was just a wee bit overtired, she shared a good laugh with Seth, the other 6-year-old present.
Thanks to all of you for coming out to meet us. It's a really good feeling to know that we can connect with people of common interests all across the country, and that those people are REAL. Well, sometimes. :-) I acknowledge that I may discover someday that one of my female writer friends is actually a 16-year-old male with twelve separate internet identities.

Is it too late to tell you that we all actually live in Des Moines, and we beamed our images into the restaurant?
It was great to see you again, too. Enjoy the rest of your stay! (And shield your eyes when you return through those two towns up north.)

It's not me. I guarantee that I'm old, have two kids and have only one identity.
I've heard there is a politician in Florida using my name, though.
Rosslyn-
It was a great time, and I wish I could have invested more into visiting with you. I don't usually go out in public with a uniform on, but my circumstances prevailed against me. My only regret is that I didn't have more time with you and your beautiful daughter. Come again soon!
Yep, it was a good time. And for the record, I'm not a 16 year old male - just have the maturity of one.
Oh, how lovely to meet internet friends. I can't wait until ACFW in September, when I'll at least be able to meet a few!
I'm sure that Alison and Travis are even more wonderful in person than online. Lucky you, Rosslyn!
God bless and have a wonderful weekend.
Alison- After San Antonio, we came back to ABQ via I-10/I-40. I'll just say that you also need to warn people to shield their eyes about fifty miles east of El Paso. LOL!
We're finally back - now to catch up on a BUNCH of overdue tasks.
Oh, no!!! Can't say that surprises me, though. You can join our recovery group if you like.
Glad you're back safe.
