OJsDad, sorry I missed you. Not sure what I was up to when you came by...


It was great to add Martok, MetalDog and RickBill to my list of Grogs I have actually met in person. We had the largest crew there this year since I've been going to Origins. Now I'm hoping we can swing an even larger turnout next year!

MD, when I landed in Columbus earlier the day you flew in, we landed from the west.  When landing at Port Columbus from the west, you get to fly right over The Shoe.  If you have a window seat, you can usually see one of the end zones.  Were you lucky enough to see it or did you not even realize you were flying over. 


Have to say I missed it.  Primarily, because I drove ;)

Doh!  That gave me a good belly laugh.

Glad I could oblige.  :)  Just have to catch you next year.

the report from the Grogs

I only recognize 3-4 of you guys in the pic (Cyrano, Crandall, Brant, possibly one other that I'd rather not guess on in case I'm wrong as I'm terrible with faces). I've only met Crandall and Brant in person and recognize Cyrano and Panzerde from Skype/GrogCast recordings, but the rest of y'all, I have no idea who is whom.

that's why there's names on the shirts! ;)

Yeah, I saw that, but it must be my bad eyes because they're awfully blurry.  :P

I'm 6'4", not bald, and have lost 30 pounds thus far this year. By next year I should be at my goal weight and will still have a head of hair. I don't think I'll fit in with you boys.  ;D
