Two weekends ago I got a chance to meet John Baker -- better known in the
Hoax Forum as the moderator Tah. He was in San Diego with his family on vacation. We had lunch and then took the ferry across San Diego harbor. I had a great time.
John's back home now and emailed me this snapshot of the two of us posing in front of the San Diego skyline. (I'm the short one — and I'm six-feet tall!) Our wives and John's daughter are out of view behind the camera.
The only negative is that it was early February so I, thinking it would be chilly down on the water, had come dressed in black jeans and a sweater. It turned out to be 80 degrees that day, so I had shed the sweater by the time this picture was taken. But I was still pretty hot.
I've now met all the forum moderators in person, except for MadCarlotta, Maegan, and Myst (who hasn't been around in ages). I can confirm that they're all the nicest, most intelligent group of people you could imagine.
John also sent a picture of what he suggests might be Nessie in the bay. He notes, "Anne [his wife] seemed to think it was just two seals looking for fish, but I know better!"

Alex needs to arrange to be in LA in April so he can entertain Smerk during her layover.
And I still say that was Nessie. She knew we were meeting and wanted to come check us out. 😉
We already knew that about you Alex! 😉
I'm glad you guys had a good time. Now all that needs to happen is that you guys come visit in October when Boo and Mouse come stay with me! (and yes I know it was going to be in May but October is the revised and final date!)
Could happen. Who knows?
Well, actually, Cranky.... I don't think I ever removed the powers I gave you when you guest-blogged. So you do have all the powers of a moderator.
It's as if I just discovered that I'm the Last Son of Krypton and I can fly under a yellow sun.
