Survive and advance
It is funny to see Springtime signs at places like Starbucks when it is 27° and there are 20 foot snow piles in all the parking lots and 3 inches of fresh powder on the ground. They have no concept of what Spring actually is. Now saying that, I love the summers up here and the people are wonderful. I have a big whiteboard lecture at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario today. Should last 2+ hours if they want to chat and ask questions. I love this part of the job.
Beaufort, NC springtime suggestions? Food, activities, etc?
Denizens of the LTE I have met in IRL (including those from way back): wilson, Ymo, TillyGalore, aimo, CathyCA, OzzieforDuke, and one more whose IRL name I remember but posting name do not so I'll call him LemurExpert and hope you know which tall guy I'm talking about. I think that's it. I met a few other regular DBR but not LTE posters at a Wally Wade tailgate although CameronBornandBread used to post here, IIRC.
Clem has talked to my father on the phone but I don't think that counts.![]()
BD did me a real solid at a moment in my life when I was poor, rather lonely, and rather bored, and I haven't forgotten what it meant to me.
That was Lavabe. He crashed with me one time at at my mom's house one time while passing through Atlanta and we stayed up late over an epic evening of Scrabble. He still gives me a shout whenever he passes through town. He's a gem of a human being.
