    Oh, right. He has an awesome bio photo[^]. Wish I was half that handsome.

    cheers, Paul M. Watson.

          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.

                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.

                                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.

                                    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:

                                          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:

                                          Have I ? I guess with all my travel, I must have been near a few CPians. I was also within 45 min of one of my best friends ( not someone from CP ) on this trip, but it's rare that I have the option to take time off to visit people :(
