One more momentous event...
... happened last summer and I can't believe I forgot to mention it - meeting, in real life, my friend Linda for the first time.
She received frequent mention in the old journal, but here's a brief bio thingie on her for the new folks:
Linda is the webmistress of a very cool website about a very cool actor. She and I met online through her site in the winter of '98/'99 and struck up a terrific friendship which remained web- and phone-based due to the distance (she lives in Holland).
Finally, last summer, she visited the U.S. for the first time. She was fortunate enough to stay with her friend/idol and his lovely wife and as a result, I was fortunate enough to visit several times, even running into the actor once in his backyard when meeting Linda to go to the movies. She and I spent a lot of time together in her three weeks here, spending a day in Santa Barbara, another day in San Marino with my mother, going to movies and dinners and just generally having fun. She's as warm, silly, intelligent and personable in person as she had been via internet and phone and we had a grand time before she had to pack up and head home.
Wonderful thing is, she's visiting again this year! I don't know how she managed to do it, but she's spending another three weeks in sunny Southern California in August and I can't wait! Lots more fun is sure to happen, what with plans to go to Big Bear and maybe spend a day in San Diego, not to mention convincing her to attend an LAPC event so she can meet even more terrific people. I'm even hoping to throw a party when she's here so that she can meet my friends that she didn't meet last year (which is most of them). And since this may be her last visit to the U.S. for a few years (while she finishes her schooling), we'll definitely going to have to make the most of it.
August is going to be a blast!
