I was just thinking about that meeting the other day. Wandered over to spy on you and Mq. And then today in my email I saw that someone had responded to one of my posts from long ago and far away.. How's the boat? And the grapes?

Hello DD from the distant future long after the demise of the GOOFI stream. I had forgotten that. Remember internet time? It was a strange time. Internet time was like going to a new place where everything is strange. A couple of days seems like ages, whereas another 2 days at home on the couch passes in a flash, unmemorably. I'm glad to have seen, created, and lived through the birth of Cyberspace. I have read things from people who lived through the start of the industrial revolution during which people flocked to the factories. I suppose it was a bit like being in wagons heading west across the prairies or on board Captain Cook's Endeavour exploring the world [which admittedly had already been explored and populated from south east China long before to the Americas and across the Pacific Ocean].
