Hey everyone,
I am currently sitting in the hotel lobby typing this on their computer Karen, Salud's wife, is sitting here with me. We've had a tremendous couple of days...I cannot describe what yesterday was like for me, and for so many of us (ALL of us?) who were able to be here. It was...incredible. It was... awe inspiring. It was...mind blowing. (DAMMIT where is the thesauras when ya need it??! LOL) I met so many people that I've only known from the board....a common question ringing out everywhere was...Do you post on Simon's board??
I don't have time to accurately relate what it was like; all I can tell you is that it was one of the most moving and empowering things that I have ever done. I wish Dickens was around to translate my feelings into words so that you could all comprehend and share in the overwhelming emotions I have.
I have to mention that I've been hanging out with some of the most awesome people! I've toured NYC with the Bowens, Venice and her parents, Salud and his wife, and the Andersons. These are some wonderful wonderful people and I am enriched just by being able to have my life intersect with theirs, however briefly this weekend may be in the grand scheme of things. I was able to meet Joy and Jst2 (great folks too!), hook up again with that incredible lady Outnfree, I met Erica and her mom, Larry and his family, Worf, Somebody and Zev, Grits and so many others whose names escape me at the moment (I'm sorry! I'm just in a New York state of mind!!) I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Thanks to all of you who made it possible.
Catch ya all when I get back to Florida!
Dana
