But I kept thinking that that diner looked awfully familiar. And then I read "Southern California", and I thought, dang, that's the diner in the Village! Man, had I known you were out this way, I'd have come down to meet you. I live about 25 minutes away from the colleges.<br /><br />So why were you out here? Were you doing something at the colleges out here? Or were you just on vacation? <br /><br />Anyway, that Olympia is absolutely gorgeous. <br /><br />Honestly, I often wonder what people type when they get together (other than a typecast about typing out in public). I have a hard time typing if my wife is standing behind me while I type, so I don't think I'd handle the scrutiny of strangers too well. But I've never liked attention on me. You guys are braver than I, that's for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-72765113011943096552012-07-30T00:47:29.775-04:002012-07-30T00:47:29.775-04:00Richard - it was super great fun meeting you.
