The original plan was to drive to Blountstown to surprise Joe for his
birthday, but due to existent plans his family had, we couldn't do that.
Joe then expressed interest in meeting at MegaCon the following week, but we
all told him that no one from South Florida would be able to make (in
truth, with the help of his wife, planning on meeting him for a surprise
birthday party in Orlando).
So at the ungodly hour of 11:00 am, Bunny, Gregory, Kurt, Keith and I
started our drive northward. We needed to start out early to ensure we
would arrive at the hotel first and set up the decorations and get the
cake.

Joe (left) still giddy at our little surprise, even stuffed
into the back of a sport utility vehicle with Kurt.
Joe was totally surprised by us, and was rather giddy the entire
evening. Just being there was the best gift we could have given him.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
