And here I missed the dance and the hoedown :'( Janice was in the fast car too and I was in parts unknown of Wyoming. In fact she was in the same car as Jeff ;)

I hope it helps a little bit. In all the talk of the virtual life versus the real life, I've had a few thoughts. First, I decided that if I've met a person at least twice and connected with them, I can call them a friend without prefacing it with 'internet'. My own arbitrary guideline, but I get tired of explaining 'internet friends' like they're somehow 'less' than other friends.. There are people here who completely get me (and accept me!) and I'm not Ms Popularity, but the numbers are in double digits - and I feel the same connection back with them. That is such a rare thing in real life - I count my true 'real life' friends on one hand and don't even need to use all my fingers.
I'm not a very good friend when it comes to keeping track of important dates and milestones - it's something I should work on...remembering dates in time to make them special and so forth. I don't fully understand why this online world feels so much more comfortable. I would say that it's because there's a degree of anonymity and honesty that comes with that - BUT the comfort doesn't stop when we turn off the computers and get together, so I'm just so thankful I was lucky enough to meet up with this perhaps unlikely crew of kindred spirits.

Lynne, that's about the best I've heard it said. I'm taking "internet" off when I speak of my online friends from now on. Friends are friends, and I'm glad to count you among them! :-*

Which reminds me - don't think I have a snail mail address for you neither - General Delivery don't work like it used to! :D
