Oh, Shelly, how could you forget Lewis, the behind-the-scenes Bookshare Engineer! You forgot to mention Guido's offer to dance with Judson after a few drinks and Gustavo trying to pull away Lewis from the huge dessert display case.

I met up with Pratik, Guido, Donna Smith, Louis, and Gustavo, at the Pittsburgh ACB convention what was it two years ago, and I honestly don't think Cristo's Greek Grill will think of blind people ever the same way again. Was quite a lot of fun, and not a lot of alcohol, not really smile. We were their only customers that night but we stayed three hours, and had all the courses, including dessert, yum, and talked of a lot of things including Christian Romances from the nether region, smile. But it was fun, and getting there was great too, as I think Gustavo was the only one who was normally sighted out of the group. But such fun, and Guido, is really that interesting in person.

The party hats and other things that guido probably will bring, like bottle of wine and stronger stuff to drink to Marissa's health are probably virtual. Everybody seems to have so much real fun, ithough, as well as virtual fun -- and sees so much new and wonderful technology -- and now IBM is having job interviews. Wonderful. Have fun all of you. We atay-at-homes will miss you. (Maybe you'll find a replacement for Marissa there -- I nominate Carrie, though,m or doesn't she want a full-time job.)
