As you all know, MOBYCARP and ONEKIDSMOM are in Boston for the Marathon. OKM is in the Crazy, Happy, Supportive Sister and Nutty Spectator division. MC is in the Awesome Dude Qualified and Running He's So Cool division. OVERWORKEDJANET had nothing else to do, so she packed up her DH, all his meds, and drove up just to meet Barb. (OWJ and I have already met a couple of times. I'm yesterday's news.)
So here's the picture. I can't believe no one posted it yet.
The picture was taken late yesterday afternoon at Harvard Yard, Harvard Square. We are in front of John Harvard. I made sure they saw the offices of Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe (of Car Talk fame) while we were in the Square. We walked around. Talked a lot. Had dinner. Barb and Janet aren't big drinkers, so I behaved myself. No crazy stories to tell.
OWJ, OKM got together much earlier in the day with JANISMKW. I had another obligation, so I wasn't there. They get to tell their own story of their meet up.
As I said in my post on Facebook. I never thought I'd make friends online even 5 or 6 years ago. I knew people who'd met their spouses online. My mother-in-law, God rest her soul, made lots of on line friends. Whenever she visited, one of my duties was to schlep her to her meets ups with her A2K friends. Nonetheless, I am so happy that I got to meet Barb.
So far I have met:
LESLIELENORE (and ran a miserably hot and humid 5K with her)
OPTIMIST1948 (who is no longer active on Spark, but we did a triathlon together) OVERWORKEDJANET (three times now! She lives very close to my family, so it is easy to meet her.) and now ONEKIDSMOM and tomorrow I get to meet MOBYCARP.
Woo the heck Hoo!
