3. The board name of beathen rhymes with heathen. Duh. Why my brain persisted in scanning it BEETH-en (not like any word) instead of Bee-THEN (a clever bit of wordplay) I'll never know. My brain disappoints me sometimes.
Actually, "BEETH-en" is correct. It does rhyme with heathen but with a hard "th" sound.
ION, I had a great weekend! This was my first time meeting any of the Buffistas, or anyone that I've talked with on the internet, and it turned out better than I could have hoped. My highlights...
1. Emeline is most definately the cutest baby in the whole world. I've declared that I'm joining the "godmother of Emeline" list.
2. Aimée, MiracleMan, P-C, vwbug, Emily & JohnSweden are wonderful people. Even though this was my first time meeting them all it felt more like friends reuniting after a long absence.
3. P-C was a great host for the weekend even though the hot water heater in his apartment building was broken. Instead of taking those cold showers I should have just went swimming in a snow bank.
4. When hunger becomes too powerful an urge I'm likely to run a red light on a major road. Fortunately it wasn't at a major intersection. Besides, by the time I saw it if I hit the breaks I would have skid into other cars.
Overall, I had a great time. I'm looking forward to meeting more people this coming weekend!
