The Draher Faher
When one attends blog meets, one expects that *ahem* interesting things will be happening. There will be stories for the ages.
And so it was with this blog meet which will likely be known by posterity as the "blog meet of the draher faher".
After arising at 6am on Friday, travel all day, an evening of revelry ending in the wee hours at around 3am. A Saturday starting at 8:30am and ending around 1:30am... I was looking forward to sleeping until 8:30 Sunday morning when I planned to drag out of bed and head to Eric's for the Sunday morning breakfast.
Well, that was the plan until...

I Was Promised A Non-Smoking Room***
Back from the wilds of Tennessee where there were many exciting things happening this last weekend.
The Straight White house once again opened its doors to many a blogger. I shall not attempt to give you an accounting of what was happening because it was epic and I don't have the pixels to accommodate such a story.
So here are a few of the highlights.
- It took 5 hours for Thelma and Joo-ese to get from Atlanta to Eric's front door.
- I got a speeding ticket... yes, out in the middle of nowhere a cop stopped me in front of a 55mph sign telling me I had been speeding in a 40mph zone.
- I did not go shooting at the range after the ticket. Dealing with a cop is enough for the weekend, didn't want to deal with the TSA too
- It takes 2.5 hours to get Joo-ese out the door when it's time to go back to the hotel... therefore we got to the hotel at 3am the first night (or is that morning)
- Bou, Oddy, Richmond, Elisson, SWMBO (wife of Elisson), and Eric are all terrific cooks
- Morrigan (sister of Bou) is 6 months pregnant and introducing the baby to blogging early. I predict great things from this child after hanging with this group
- the Elderly Brothers are excellent and made even better when Dax and John add their own touches to the mix. (yes that would be John Cox of Cox and Forkum - amazing the peeps you meet at Eric's)
- being awakened by a fire alarm about an hour and a half before my alarm was due to go off was an interesting way to start the day. Tomorrow there shall be pictures and story of this event. (well, one picture at least)
Now I'm off to bed. I do need to try and get some little bit of sleep before attempting to work tomorrow.
