This morning I got a PM from Chatman, in town on business. In less than an hour we were eating big burritos together at Moe's. Heckuva nice guy.

My point: I know some of you must fly in and out of da Atl. Gimme a shout. I haven't met an OFCer that wasn't a swell guy.

As the other attendee at the NE Atlanta OFC luncheon circa 1/22/2008, I must say that it was nice stepping out of the closet briefly to meet Jazz.

His first comment to me was "You didn't tell me you're one of them hippies!"

Told him I was traveling incognito this trip so I had my Cliff look on.

In retrospect, I'm thinking that's a retty presumptuous statement from a guy that calls himself self Capt_Lovehandles. Hippy indeed! I prefer to think of it as generously proportioned.

Maybe it was the hair.

And Capt. L., you never even gave me the chance to buy lunch. I promise, next time I'll learn to read the menu faster and try to keep up.

To OFCer's transitting ATL, I highly recommend taking Jaz up on his offer. Great guy (even if he throws the gaunlet on initial contact), easy going, a good entry level introduction to meeting a real live OFC member. We even went through the mandatory "I'm not much of a player, but ______ (insert member name here), now he can really play" ritual.

The Cap't. IS a nice guy... as are ALL the OFC'ers I've met also.

BTW Jas, my ponytail is gone, as is that chapter of my life.

I agree with Chatman about Jas, nicest guy you would ever wanna meet. I have a feelin that after the g8rbowl gettogether this past weekend (and 10 hours in tha car together) that some of TRboy's and my unusual sense of humor may have rubbed off on him though (If we ain't pickin on ya, we don't like ya). He musta liked ya right off Chatman. Give him a few weeks and he'll be back to normal.

Ponytail gone? Colin, I'm so sorry. What are you calling the current chapter?

TJ, Chat's got enough hair for all three of us. I'd have had him pegged for a mad scientist or a concert violinist. Instead he writes software and sells nuts.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Capt.L a couple of times,complete with a ponytail, he never once refered to me as some sort of sixties throw back. I think he's a very good stand up kind of guy. :D

Awesome 28...
Brian & I happen to be working on that very one.
You do the high harmonies please. I'm having a devil of a time with the close harmonies of the chorus but I should be ready by Amelia time.

How about Something or I Feel Fine or Ticket to Ride or That Boy??

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of "Happiness is a Warm Gun", " Bungalow Bill" or "Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand"

Got to be some surprises in life.

By the way, I forgot about those lotto tickets you bought until this morning. We get to split $0.00 3 ways.
