Julie and Me
Once again, we prove that Sphere members have actual bodily existence, even when not at West Chester. At least, if this business of attaching a photo has worked.
This should be a photo of me with Julie Stoner, who was visiting inlaws in Woodbury MN and who drove to Trotter's in St. Paul (and found it, in spite of Google Maps!) and enjoyed a long conversation with me and John (who took the picture).

That is so cool, that you Spherians can get together in real life. Thanks for letting us share. It feels kinda special to have faces to the names.

I'm very sorry, but it is not an official picture unless it is taken at West Chester, and includes at least three people whom nobody can identify.

I'd seen pictures of Maryann before, but this is my first glimpse of Julie, who is nothing like I pictured her (though I'd be hard pressed to say that I actually pictured her at all, rather than regarding her as a disembodied source of wonderfully engaging letter patterns across my screen). Thanks for posting!

To get back on topic, Michael's assertion that photos of Spherean encounters don't count unless they are taken at West Chester or some such miserable gathering is kind of pushing it. We would, however, normally require the "Hello My Name Is:" badges with "Maryann" and "Julie" scribbled in using the SharpieŽ kept on hand for signing books and chapbooks and such. This would also help us to know which is who.

Reason: added "Registered Trade Mark" symbol, which we also require.

Required ID: Short graying hair = Maryann. Long, not-so-graying hair=Julie.
I've been out in my own natural disaster, you know. I flew to Cambridge MA to visit my daughter at Harvard, and to escape the twenty-some inches of snow on the ground from the blizzard we had the weekend before Christmas. So I go to Boston, and presto, blizzard. Full on 17 inches of snow, gale winds. Most of state shuts down. We did have a couple of days to have fun before the awfulness.
Back home now, back to normal. Sigh.
