Oh you’d like that wouldn’t you? Well maybe I will go mail some job applications, maybe I’ll do just that. ---

It looks like I’m not going to be able to make it after all. ☹ Another event I have to go to is that same weekend, and I have managed to turn my ankle rather badly, so driving like mad from one event to the other isn’t going to be possible. Next one, though . . . ---

Well, since I have decided that I can’t/won’t go to Regionals in Dallas, I figure I will drop in with you guys and get crabs. 😃 ---

I’m all set. I’m looking forward to this even though I know very few of you very well at all. I must be getting more sociable in my old age. ---

Good news…I’m getting a new car. Bad news…I have to go to Dallas to pick it up Saturday. So barring a change of plans, looks like I can’t make it. I’ll make the next one, though. In my new car. 🙂 Bummer, though. Wanted to see you folks again, and meet some new ones. ---

Josh, you’re _not_ riding there with me. I don’t want to have to disinfect my seats. ---

Jin, considering the number of free drinks you’ve already set yourself up for I don’t want to ride there with you! As a public service, to my fellow motorists, how bout I give you a ride? ---

Guess that’s what I get for not paying enough attention to this thread. ☹ 😉 Jin, you’ll be welcome with or without your top. Hat! I meant top HAT! 😉 ---

As a public service, to my fellow motorists, how bout I give you a ride? \*\* Better just make them straight shots of vodka or rum, I don’t want to ruin my diet. You can drive2, but only to indulge my laziness. Ringo, you’re cute and all, but I’m not sitting on your lap. Irishman, if you wanna fight over me, you and what’s-his-face can feel free to send me JPGs of yourselves in the email. Cute guy \> alcoholic beverages. And I will probably wear a tank top, since I saw someone who is coming gripe about tattoos on women in another thread, and I have a huge one on my back that I suddenly feel compelled to flaunt. So it’s a shirt, but not much of one. 😉 Better bring a camera, you might want proof you met me someday. In another couple of months things are going to get really busy for me, and I’m not sure how many Dopefests I’ll be able to make (I already had to mess up my work schedule this week and lose an afternoon to work on my site for this one.) ---

I think prior attendees know my feelings on tattoos, on women or otherwise. 😉 Look forward to seeing yours next time, **jin** - ---
