Well, I just saw Leadfingers off back toward Maryrrf's place. He arrived just in time, and I knew it was him because he does indeed look just like that chesspiece Micca pointed out to us...
We had a nice chat, then went out toward lunch. I was a bit lacking in my navigation skills, and missed a crucial turn right at the beginning, and didn't see a crucial turn right near the end. So my leg of his holiday was the loop-di-loop portion. Oh well. It gave us more time for chatting -- though, honest, that wasn't my intention (really)! And he should be back to Marryrf's place in time for supper.
He was able to cross me off his Mudcatter's life list, and I could cross him off mine. Now, the only thing left is to get Maryrrf in on our next meeting. Of that, there's no doubt!
That was nice. Even though I wish there was more time (and a chance for all three of us to be together, and actually share some music), I now have a face and a voice to attatch to that anonymous font on the computer screen. And it is quite an ego-boo to be told that you're someone that someone else was determined to meet irl (slight blush).
