Following QZ, we had a mini rally with Tim & Marsha in Cathedral City, with visits by and to Robert and Carol at their lot in nearby Indio. We spent two days traveling north, and arrived home yesterday with the sun still shining.
I just wanted to drop a note to say thanks to Bob, Betty, Helaine, Wendy and others for all the work they put into organizing the rally and providing entertainment. (Apologies if I've inadvertently missed/forgotten anyone.)
It was also the first time we've had sufficient forum staff in one place at the same time to be able to hold a mini staff meeting; More like a gathering in the storm and a sharing of thoughts, in between fixing Genturis blowing in the wind and worrying about satellite dishes. Among other things, we discussed several (positive) things for the forum future; More on those later.
Regrettably, Chris and I got the usual/expected sinus infections and allergies (someone fondly called it 'the QZ crud', which described it very well). But we were sure glad to see Framily and friends that we've not seen in a while, in addition to meeting others for the first time. Apologies if I didn't get to meet and talk with everyone in person.
Again, a big thanks to all who made the rally a success. Also, a big thanks for the contributions, either as voluntary donations or Betty's 'rally tax', all of which help keep the lights on around here.
