Not to mention awesome.   The Bloon Fiesta is truly awesome, IMO.  I really
liked the Pink Pig.

However, I could do without the hour of arising.  But, rON made breakfast
a hit and we tailgated it as the sun rose.

And rON made it quickly evident at the pool table that he had done this
before.  Glad he was on MY team.

>Southwestern cuisine (green chiles in everything except the chocolate

Ah, the cuisine... all I can say is   MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

>sauce, mmmm, now if I can just figure out a recipe combining grapes and green
>chiles :-), 

I'm sure someone has done it somewhere.  Ray has a serious grape addiction
and we're trying to get him into a program.

>the first net.band, 

ANd what Ray fails to include is that he is an awesome dude on the guitar.

>Santa Fe.   And the traditional boink

Santa Fe was great.  So great that I sorta missed my plane and had to 
take the next one in the morning.  'Sok, at least then I was almost awake
to enjoy it.  (did I mention I LOVE to fly.  Take off, love those take offs
and I got  FOUR of them in!!! I coulda done without the 3 hour layover in
Houston, though).  Coming out was interesting.  I was supposed to not have to 
change planes at Houston on the way out, so I got off to make use of the
facililties and when I came back, there was no plane. Ok.  Where'd you
put my plane?  Whad ya do with it?  Then I was told, "oh, we had a slight
change. (aka, that one couldn't take off anymore and we're going to get you a
new one).  You didn't leave anything on there, did you?  "Just my luggage.
You DID get the luggage didn't you? Please say yes and I'm not going to be
stuck in Albuquerque with no underwear." 
 
And Larry, who is one truly wild and wonderful dude.  He gets this
testerone surge and decides to take me four-wheelin on the way to
Sandia Crest and gives me serious white knuckle syndrome.  'Sok.  It
was worth the view.  Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.  (The mountains were
nice, too :-)

I met some great, fun, interesting people.  I love net events.   The people
are  extraordinary.  So much fun, so many good times and soooooo much great 
food!

Terri and Marcia should be back in Bay land by now and Rob, well, Rob is
wandering around in the desert somewhere.  We're not really sure where....
 
>activities as well!  Kudos to Larry and rON. for organizing a superb
>event.  

Ibid.
One awesome boink, dudes!!!!!!

>Now if I could just get caught up on sleep....

Sleep?  Sleep?  We don't need no steekin sleep.
