The Visit is over.....

[Fighter Pilot]

Well, my sister and I got back a little while ago, from taking Budge, a.k.a. T.J. a.k.a. Tony to the airport, for his flight back to Arkansas.

The time went by much too fast, and we didn't get to do everything we wanted to, but we sure had a GREAT time while he was here!!!

There is talk of him moving up here with us, but we'll have to wait and see how serious he is about that. He sounded very serious about it last night when we were talking though.

Sorry for you that he is leaving, but of course, he is with us...whether it be here in PA or in Arkansas. I, for one, was really happy to meet him...it was a joy. Safe flight TJ...see you soon!

Just checked the Southwest.com website and Tony's plan landed safe and sound at 3:40pm cst.... and I also see that he and willie show "online" on skype.....

Thank you all! And to Willie, Rose, Rick, Dawn and Alex. I had a fantastic time there!

Yes, the visit is over and I'm back in Arkansas. Nephew Kyle picked me up at the airport and we headed home. Stopped for a bite to eat, came in and Annie was the first to greet me, then King Kat. Dammit was hiding under the covers in the bedroom and didn't even realize I was here until I started opening cans of their groceries. He looked at me like I was a stranger, and left! When I started talking to him he said, "Oh yeah, you're that old farth who abandonded me for so long, now feed me!"

Verry, very serious about moving to Pennsylvania. And it may be sooner than later too.

Glad you had a good time Budge, now get your butt back up here!!

[Tulsa]

Glad to hear you made it back safe and sound TJ!

Great Visits are always too short.

Glad the visit went well and you had a safe return!

Happy to see you made it home safe. It was great to be able to meet you. My wife and I look forward to doing it again.

Budge, it's good to hear your home safe!
Meeting you was certainly one of the highlights of the PA pachi-party for me, and the way things are sounding here, I might soon have the pleasure of calling you 'neighbor'???

Awesome!!!

My visit was so great with Tony that it didnt even start!!!!!!!!!! JK

All in good time TJ

[hanabi]

Sounds like you had a truly great time TJ

also looks like you'll have some more good times too - especially if you go ahead with that move!!

[Tony Junior]

Happy to see you made it home safe. It was great to be able to meet you. My wife and I look forward to doing it again.

It was really my pleasure, John, and I'm looking forward to the next time we meet.

Awesome!!!

It is always nice to get home safely. What a pleasure and honor it was to meet you and all the rest of the PT members that made the 2nd PA Mini-convention! As far as becoming neighbors, it will happen, I'm just not sure how soon.

My visit was so great with Tony that it didnt even start!!!!!!!!!! JK

All in good time TJ

I'm so sorry we didn't make it to NYC, Eddie...BUT... it will happen before long.

I'm saving this for the last quote, because it is an apology to everyone who attended.

I, for one, was really happy to meet him...it was a joy.

Dawn, it was truly a pleasure to meet you and Alex and of course the rest of your family. Thank you so much for putting up with me. Thank you so much for having us in your beautiful home.

I say this because shortly after arriving I had a panic attack. Of all times to have one! I didn't get to visit with everyone nearly as much as I would have like to, because I had to let the meds take effect. As a result, I sort of hid and did nothing for a good portion of the convention.

But I promise you all, the next time we get together I will not allow that to happen!

[logicprobe]

TJ... you don't have to apologize for a thing!
Your being there was joy for us!
You know we were there for you, in more ways than one... and we will be there for you in the future.

I am glad you arrived home safe and sound, and had a good time along with the other pachitalkers. Make the best of the time your given. Wow serious about moving from Ark to PA, they must have made one heck of an impression on you.

[dattia]

TJ...Not to worry, often men have to sit a bit to regain their composure after meeting me for the first time...I should have warned you
