Color me impressed...I was walking by Dave as he had his face buried in a brave fierce corner of the Reno National Tattoo Convention, having the back of his skull tattooed. Sorry I didn't "meet" you, Dave. I wish you a speedy recovery.

well, ill be the first to dig in. hope i dont blow your bad ass bastard image...hehe..after seeing this *bastard* online for a long time, a few years ago we struck up a conversation....since then I think we'd agree he and his wife (who is actually significantly nicer than dave...and thats sayin somethin) have become friends. Not many people one meets online do you choose to vacation with...and weve been to new york together, they have come to SF, and ive gone to FL...now off to Amsterdam (woohoo). Its a good thing this online stuff sometimes, because it can bring people into your lives like Dave and Lea who you would never meet otherwise. He (well, they) are the nicest, big hearted people ive met in many many years. hes one good guy. cheers bud.
