Hello folks,
I want to thank Tom Lynch for his generosity and graciousness at the Wacco social gathering last night at the Hopmonk.
I also want to thank everyone who showed up and shared some laughs, food, and drinks: Bruce Ward, Colleen Fernald, Shepherd Bliss, Tom Lynch, Dixon, Barry Chertov, Bob, Sara S, myself (Edward Mendoza). I apologize if I forgot anyone's name.
It was a fun, casual meeting where everyone had the pleasure of seeing in person other Wacco folks whom they only knew electronically. It's entertaining to be able to put a face to a name (or an Internet handle), especially after several years of only having an online acquaintance/friendship.
It lasted about 2 hours and a few of us hung on a little longer afterwards. I only had two dark beers (Death & Taxes and another brand) so I didn't have to stagger and stumble for several blocks to get to where I parked my car, a safe distance away from the Hopmonk.
We need to do this more often. I heard a rumor from a reliable source that there might be a Wacco Picnic or something coming up soon. But I wouldn't mind another round at the Hopmonk!
Edward
Yes, it was fun to get together and I'm glad we figured it all out! Next time we'll get the Middle East sorted out.
I heard the same rumor about a picnic coming up
Cheers!
Barry
