What a list, Chuckie! It is extremely cool to see how many of those folks I've met and/or know, AND how many are still active in some way.
I remember Adrian telling me a story about how his rental car turned over 1963 miles when he parked at Auntie's.
Coincidence? I think not.

My thoughts exactly, Lynne. I didn't even know about the Texas BBQ, back then. And even if I had known, it would have been the farest thing on my mind. Less than one year later, I flew over the big pond for the very first time in my life, to be at the Colorado BBQ. One of the most crazy and best things I've done in the last 15 years!
Happy anniversary, Chuck!
.... and four effin years later, we're still here.
