i got the chance to visit with Jeff this week while visiting his home of St. Louis. it's good to get to know people better. we obviously have so much in common and he's so much more three dimensional in person other than by phone or email.
last week, i also was able to visit with david too. i love having friends all around the country. i just wish i had the opportunity to see them more often.

on a separate note, i love the way you can meet so many new and exciting people from throughout the country at a national conference. suddenly you have friends and acquaintances all over. and we all are able to put aside petty communication fears or shyness or worries, and just bond on the commonalities of our lives.

i wish life itself could be more so communal.
