...sadly, I have never danced with anyone near my own height....that, and I'm a crappy dancer...
Hey, don't sell yourself short! (pun intended :devil:) I really never learned to slow dance… I just keep going round in little circles with my dancing partner. If you do it slowly and with confidence, you don't look stupid and no one really notices. :lemo: When I was single, I'd always have to explain this to guys before we started to dance.

:rolleyes: Are you just trying to make me cry, now?
(kidding... mostly :biggrin2: )
...not at all, I shed tears during my speech last year-because I was that impassioned with really and truly befriending my heretofore "cyber" family...this Board means more to me than I think most realize, and why I've been so nervous about this event with me nominally in charge...without you all, there are days I truly couldn't hold it together-but being able to come here and just be my doofy and sometimes thoughtful self is an ingrained part of my day I can't do without...

Scott, you have done a magnificent job with the KON. It's not an easy task to plan such an event. Those who attend, and those who will there in spirit will become one happy family- Ka-Tet. There is no other place in this world, "or other worlds" like the SKMB. It embodies the true meaning of one made up of many. I too call many here "family". Just keep on being your doogy self-- you are needed.

We will most likely just meet you all first at the Reformatory Tour, unless you're gathering somewhere else earlier. I will be hard to miss: I'll be wearing my bright orange Shawshank shirt and I will have my wife and two daughters with me! Forgive me if I don't recognize some of you on first sight (OK, Scott will be hard to miss). I tend to think of you by your user names more than your real names too so that might be awkward at first, and I won't take it personally if you call me "feef" or something other than Bob!

I have one route that is 641.49 miles, and another that is 666.86 miles... I wonder which is the better option...? Also not sure if I'll take the bike. 10 1/2 hours is a long ride, and I'll probably have to leave between midnight and 2 AM...
