Yeah, me and my brother-in-law were walking around looking for his brother, Rob. I was searching for Rob's hat trying to spot him. When my eye caught this familiar looking green hat (see Billy's blogspot). And beneath it a scruffy fellow. Unlike vrooomed, I wasn't afraid to yell out "BILLY?". It is great to be able to put a real, in-the-flesh person to a name on a screen. Hopefully next time I'm visiting my buddy in Depew I'll be able to meet muskie.

Cool. Meeting in person with someone whom you have only known online is a cool experience. Even if it is the only time you meet. On another forum (TCZ "Trading Card Zone") a few years back (aug 2014) I met up with another member who lived near me and worked close to where I actually live. WE are both Redskins fans so we met up outside his work to trade Redskins cards. It was an informal "I like this, this and this, OH and this" sort of exchange. I forget how many cards he got 10 to a dozen maybe? Looking at my "mail day blogs" I snagged 7 cards. If I recall a lot of the cards he brought to exchange were GU cards. I managed to get 4 on sticker autos one was serial numbered and two of the non-auto cards were also serial numbered. Even though I have a ton of Clinton Portis cards 3 of the 7 were him.

I'll keep you in mind if I ever have an extra Redskins ticket. My son-in-law gets free suite tickets from his company.

Muskie,
I hope next year to go around the lake and take in a couple of Triple A games. I would be going through Buffalo entering back into Canada. Will try to keep you in mind and see if we can tee it all up.
Billy,
Good thing you said you were the one on the left; I thought C2 had grown a beard.

I'm usually bearded. It's the shaved look that throws people. I shaved this Summer because I got tired of stores/restaurants automatically giving me a Senior discount. I guess the beard adds a few too many years to my look.
