Dinner with friends

This past Thursday while on a business trip in Las Vegas I was lucky enough to have dinner with basil & his big sister (who's 5'4") and Sadie and her new husband (the Lad). Until dinner the other night I'd never met another blogger (except my older and sometimes wiser brother).

As basil said, bloggers are nice folk, well at least the one's I've met.

basil is what you'd expect after reading his blog. He's an extremely kind, personable gentleman with a sense of humor greatly portrayed on his blog.

The Big Sister(who's 5'4") is a Georgia peach in the truest sense. She was sweet as could be without melting in the rain and he definitely has her hands full keeping basil out of trouble while in Vegas.

The only way I can describe Sadie is as a Southern Belle. I just wish I could do her justice when trying to describe her. She's cute as a button and even more eloquent than she writes.

The Lad is a lucky, lucky man. I wished I'd been able to talk to him a bit more, I can only assume that since he managed to marry Sadie he's either a great guy or managed to pull of the greatest con since I convince the missus to marry me.

At first I wasn't sure how awkward it was going to be, but within minutes of sitting down we were chatting like old friends. The topics were varied and amazingly enough weren't all about blogging although we did discuss blogging a bit.

As basil mentioned, I have read about other folks having great times at blog meets. I'm just not sure I could stand a whole weekend being around such great people and having such a great time, but it's a sacrifice I'll have to make.

Dinner the other night was a privilege and an honor, one I hope to repeat in the not too distant future. I'm amazed everything worked out to make it our dinner possible and grateful to them for they took the time out of their vacations.

Thanks again for dinner the other night, the pleasure was all mine.
