Two Guys Walk Into A Bar…

December 21st, 2006 . by Cary

…the third guy ducks.

Sorry, I had to get that line out of my head.

I had a nice face-to-face conversation with Gawfer last night. He was in town on business, and we sat down in a St@rbuck$ and chatted. We, meaning TMBWitW and I; there is no baby yet. (Stubborn kid. I wonder where she gets that?) Anyway – we chatted for a while, on a variety of topics – several other bloggers’ names came up (Texas Fred and Jarhead John among others), we also chatted a bit about Disneyland – his family had a pass last year, TMBWitW and I missed going this year for the first time since we were married.

Gotta tell ya, his picture doesn’t do him justice – his smile is much bigger than that. His heart is much bigger, too – but there’s no picture to prove that.

Gawfer, it was good talking to you, bud. I am honored to be your friend, and blessed to be called your brother in Christ.

Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and get in on the Baby Pool!

    Hey bad boy…it’s timefor the baby to come out!!! My hsuband and boss are both Christmas babies, maybe yours will be too.

    John will be on My Point Radio on the 29th. He’ll be calling us from Okinawa. Yeah!! Can’t wait!!!

    I’m looking forward to that, I’m going to try to actually sit still and listen, maybe even call in…

    Yes, she will probably end up being that, but TMBWitW and I have already sworn to each other that we won’t “combine” her presents.

    Baby girl stubborn already?? Look out Cary. It only gets worse. 🙂

    Sounds like you and Gawfer had a great time. I hope you had a big fat Frap for me. I love those things!

    Gawfer’s a great guy – talk to him by message sometimes, have yet to meet him in person. Look forward to the day. Merry Christmas, and God Bless.

    Mary – you mean they get more stubborn? Hoo boy…

    Douglas – I look forward to the day I get to meet all of my readers. Maybe sooner, maybe later, maybe only one at a time. But I’m definitely looking forward to it.

    We both wish you could have been there, too, John. That would have been a nice long get together!

    We have to set up a BBQ this coming spring/summer. Lets get some dates, places and times rolling around in a posting. – Whose blog should we use to coordinate. –

    Douglas Gibbs and I got to meet at the Messiah program I sang at in Temecula and for me it was the thrill of a lifetime.

    I’d say set up at a park in Riverside CA in the spring (before it gets too hot.)

    prying1 – Bushwack is coordinating the effort; he already has a reservation for a park. His Mrs. has all the plans under control, he says, so I’ve just been watching his blog for more info.

    His address changed –
    americanandproud.net
    so repoint your browser, add him to your blogroll, whatever you gotta do to keep him on the front burner.

    Sorry it’s taken so long to get here, but we are currently in the Bay Area, and I’ve hi-jacked someone’s WIFI… Funny how the name of the system is Marines.

    It was a pleasure meeting you and TMBWitW. I was truly honored and enjoyed our short time together. JJ was missed by the both of us, but there will be a time when we’ll all be together.

    It’s funny how strangers can meet for the first time and know a bond exists far beyond our understanding. It’s good to be part of the family of God.

    Blessings to you all.
