Over the past eight years, I have met some very cool people, 

and now *you* can, too!

Just to be objective and organized, these people will be in some semblance of alphabetic order.

  • Art Delano is a really cool guy whose hair has always been longer than mine. AjD was also one of the first net.people my boyfriend ever met, and he shattered every illusion Don ever had of net denizens.
  • Sean Barrett programs many fine games and stuff, and he has a program somewhere that will take your phone number and spit out a really cool word or phrase for a pneumonic device.
  • Unca billbill is just really neat. He sends the best birthday cards.
  • Tom Boutell's t.b list is one of the sources for this list, so by definition, he has his crap together better than I.
  • John Buck has fabulously cool moose slippers, which pretty much match the rest of him.
  • When I think Roger Carasso, I think of the little paper umbrellas at Westwood sushi bars.
  • Bill Coderre has no sense of direction, but he makes up for it by knowing his way around cultcha
  • Dfan Schmidt is a guitarist, songwriter, computer programmer, and my son.
  • Mark-Jason Dominus accidentally stood me up in the Philadelphia Grehound station a zillion years ago, but I have really good pictures of him being very sorry, so he won't ever do that again. He also makes really good chili. He is looking for a new site to keep his homepage at, so if this doesn't work, let me know and we'll all hope he was successful.
  • Dawn Duperal knows a lot about a lot of stuff, especially sewing, quilting and textiles. 
  • A long time ago, in a motel bathroom in Coralville, Iowa, I jellowrestled with Bryant Durrell.
  • Whenever Pat McCurdy sings Great Lost Love, I think of Paul Egli
  • The best wedding I ever attended was that of The Elder Dan and Jade. Would your parents re-landscape their whole front yard for your nuptuals?
  • Last we heard from Patrick Finerty he was on probation with the Feds. Haven't heard from him since.
  • Erin Flachsbart used to live in Iowa, but she's over that now.
  • A long long time ago, jenine and I took a trip from Bakersfield to San Francisco with our boyfriends. We've known each other through... a lot of boyfriends, a few jobs, and a couple engagements (and now she's MARRIED), and she's still what I want to be when I grow up. Of course, she would keep her husband.
  • Yong-Mi Kim has great taste in men and earrings.
  • Jen Kleiman's mom fed me bagels and lox. She has a great dog, and a really neat boyfriend.
  • Melissa Litwicki has great taste in men and goddesses.
  • He leaps, he cavorts, he twirls, plord was born to play Puck.
  • Leon Marr proves that it's a small world.
  • Kate McDonnell is a woman to be reckoned with, and she's Canadian, too!
  • She's known me through a half dozen jobs, and I've known her across time zones and a marriage. Meredith Tanner is a woman who dares to pursue her goals. Damn the torpedos, girlfriend.
  • nj is my son. He has Ignatz. And Morrisa.
  • Gerald Oskoboiny visited me, as if a dream, in the middle of a hot summer night. He then drove off and got a speeding ticket outside Madison.
  • Brett went to TAMU and lived to tell about it.
  • If you're going across country to a bob, Corprew Reed is a good guy to go with.
  • Eric Scheirer is fun to look at and nice to make breakfast with.
  • Richard Sexton has been around since fish BEGAN EVOLVING, and dammit, he wants a newsgroup for all of them.
  • She's been there, done that, and she can tell you about it in ways you'll actually want to hear more. Morrisa Sherman is a goddess.
  • Jennifer Smith and 
  • Russ Smith are husband and wife, and my daughter-in-law and son. Or so I've been told.
  • After running into Ilana Stern in about a dozen newsgroups and through about a zillion different social connections, I figure she has to be on this list.
  • billbill's betrothed is mary szmagaj, proving they both know quality and genious when they see it.
  • He struck me as more level-headed, but Paul Vader can be a seat-of-his-pants kind of guy, putting together road trips and hosting out-of-town lost people (like me!) on mere hours' notice.
  • Ronan Waide was responsible for guitar solos and mystic Irish alcohol at Hott.bob. He must be worshipped. 
  • Stephen White is one of my three fiances. Don't tell my boyfriend. Shhh.
  • Zed is a really good way to end the list.
  • There were some listings I wanted to put in but I didn't have current URLs for them. If you think you're one of them, please mail me.
