Child. Months seem like hours to me now. Gone are the halcyon days where days stretched out for longer than a mere 24 hours, and summers seemed to last for ever. Years zip past now, like greased monkeys on Teflon.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

So, my company was bought out by Patterson, which is a big dental firm, but they own Webster, a big vet firm. I visited the offices where the Patterson software development takes place, met someone who when I mentioned CP, took me in to Jason Henderson's office. If that's not cool, I don't what what is. Thank you, CP.

I think I should be the excited one! I met The Christian Graus (fabled CPian all-time post leader). I'm just a schmuck living in podunk USA that's been banging away at a kbd for 12 years (professionally). You have 50+ articles, a nice Microsoft MVP shirt, and you travel the globe. But, yeah, it was so cool. The odds of this happening the way it did are super low.

You obviously didn't see the bit where I rammed the oil tanker and blew up the whaling ship...

I just saw the link on your website and had to do it. Forgive me?

This Jason Henderson[^], the one that wrote the first Highlander book? (Sorry for being a complete blonde on who Jason Henderson is...)
cheers, Paul M. Watson.

I suspect many of us have "Jason Henderson"'s in our office. Probably yell and screem at each other in the soapbox, have tips for the weekend in the lounge and they could be in the next office over. However I've never been willing to connect the dots.

You might be, if only you'd put on a shirt and comb your damned hair.

The odds of it happenning at all aren't very high. Christian has driven past my house several times, judging by his travelogs, and never once called. :(( You must be special. :-D So far I've met PJ, Lauren, Rob Manderson, and Shog, and came close (within a few thousand yards) to meeting Paul, but those were planned, deliberate meetings. A chance encounter is a really amazing thing. I have to say, though, that I've never been disappointed. Those I've met in corpus have all been great people, as much a pleasure to hang with in reality as in cyberspace. I feel priveleged to have met a few in real life.:cool:

Ah right, maybe before my time (or maybe my memory is going...) [edit] More likely he actually helped people in the REAL forums, not hang around the Lounge like I do. [/edit]
cheers, Paul M. Watson.
