It was great to meet everyone at the dinner in Tucson. I promise to post more often.

Thanks for organizing the dinner, Barbra!

I will say it again: "Thanks Barbra!" It was a fun evening. Great food, a little show and tell, and best of all a chance to rest my feet :D

Nice to meet the folks from the forum.

BTW: I came back to 6 inches of fresh snow. I am missing Arizona already.

I just arrived back to San Francisco about 45 minutes ago. It's cold (60°F) and rainy...but it sure is great to be home.
I have 4 very happy cats on the couch next to me and 2 on the chair to my right, all watching College Jeopardy, or at last doing a very good job of faking it.

It was super meeting you all and hope we can all get together again next year...or sooner if you find yourself in SF.

If anyone has any more good pics to post of Tucson, go for it!

I think perhaps Facebook is the issue.
I can cut and paste them and they open, but it presums one has a facebook account.
I'm thinking.....
Photos are great, by the way.

Sidebar: Did you know a Saguaro Cactus needs to be 100 years old before it can grow an arm?

Well, I got the word from the driver of my shuttle bus....possibly, he was not an expert of cactus.
Somebody, look it up in Wikipedia.

Thanks Jason.
It takes a cactus about the length of a lifetime to develop an arm.
Astounding, when you see all those cactus with several arms.
