Great thread Clemi!

I went solo pretty much for several years to LV or Reno. Then participated with some folks on Flyertalk, but that was a long long time ago and folks were very cautious with meet and greets - so that just fell by the way side. Then I came across/attended some m&g's on Tripadvisor and that sort of faded. I am not sure how I came across SMF or SF but avoiding the drama I just let it go. I'm not sure how I found my way to Jokers, maybe thru some PM's, but I am grateful that I did/have.

I have made many good friends and like Trey says, folks in my other circles can't understand my interest. So now I just keep Jokers as a separate life space.

About a year ago (I know it was about a year ago because that was my second to last m&g), I over heard Clemi mention a name out of my past (possibly a good 10 years ago, don't remember that far back hhh). It was TopekaDucky. Wow, imagine ... maybe I met Clemi even before SF!! @clemi I even remember you asking many moons ago if I was the same "hytail" from Tripadvisor. Small world is all I am saying...

Thanks all for putting up with all my goofyness [sp]. I miss you all, and I'm really looking forward to seeing you all again and meeting those I have not yet - see you in KC!
