Sausage Haus? Sounds like a heart heathy location. Must have been been suggested by...

DD is always looking for business.

Just not personal business.

I'm not one that believes in fate, but it was a really special afternoon.

I've written extensively (too much?) about my father and our shared passion for Duke basketball (and DBR); it was special then, on the 12th anniversary of his death, to spend some time meeting a father and son that care as deeply about Duke basketball as my father and I did, another friendship forged on this special site from this special community.

And yes, it was a sausage haus. Anytime any of you are in town, we'll go.

I was about to sit down and casually blow through some posts/threads here upon arriving home from work and the LTE was my first stop and this was the first post. I foresee significant difficulty in doing that after reading this post. I am deeply touched and very grateful we were able to finally meet and eat (well, gorge) for those couple hours on Saturday and sorry your wife could not join us. Next time. I also shared a story with Mike (that my wife and family have heard probably way too many times) about my elderly Dad, who like his father, was a huge Duke MBB fan, but knew nothing about DBR (taking the good with the not-so-good). I'll share that here sometime or over some Ymm, Beer material when another DBR friendship is cultivated again in the near and/or distant future. Give me a holler when you're in town later this month or next.

I'm going to be flying into RDU in July on my way to Duck. My nephew and his wife will be with me so a tour of the campus will be on the agenda. If anyone is available for a meal, that would be fun. Depending on flight times, we may spend the night in the area on the way to or from.

Had a wonderful treat this past weekend and got to meet a friend from the boards (and his family!).

Just terrific spending time with Devildeac!

Just wait until he starts bringing trunk loads of beer on his visits...

Mr. And Mrs. DD are lovely. Glad I have had the opportunity to meet them in person as well.

Well, our son, Matt, does have a carved, wooden map of NC with a buncha empty places for NC beer caps that I could help him complete...

We'd like to be included on your guest list.

I'll swear I posted a reply to this earlier. Perhaps I never hit the submit reply box or DBR ate it or it got deleted. Thanks for posting this.

The pleasure was ours, Mike. Thanks for joining us and sorry your wife couldn't be there, too. Next time. And it was mere coincidence/photo-shopping/blind luck/trickery that the photo was taken in front of the oldest, best-est German all-you-can-eat "Autobahn" sausage buffet restaurant in all of middle America.

I think the important question is whether M/M DD gave you a dance demonstration.

Congratulations to the missus. I hope it is exactly what she wants and she enjoys what she does.

Who tipped better?

I'm thinking I should add it to my resume.

Hmmm, debating more replies.
