Scary too- I hope I live up to their expectations. Should I be younger or cleverer than they had imagined me to be from half a world away?

I know Sharon is looking forward to your visit -- and I hope you will extend it out to others by ustreaming (hint hint!) One of the most pleasant things I can say so far on meeting those who I only knew online - is that when I have taken it into F2F -- it was even better than I had expected. And, with only a few exceptions, was the person not exactly who I had expected them to be....and our conversation just flew. Enjoy your trip. Wish I could be there as well to say "Hi".

Obviously your stay so far has been pleasant. When you see Sharon, say hi to her (and Meg Peters if you meet her) for me. Last year at Educon 2.0 I had the same experience you write about in this post. I met Sharon and her daughter Meg there f2f for the first time. Peace, Joy, and Hope to you and your family during this holy season. Dennis Welcome to the North American continent, Chris. Obviously your stay so far has been pleasant.

I've had several comments from the participants that they were thoroughly impressed and inspired by our discussion. So thanks again!

IWBnet09 is Sydney in August,http://tinyurl.com/49h2vx, maybe it'll be then if not before. You gotta love Canadians, love their 'legalalised collisions' called ice hockey.

I was skyping him last week just to double check that our paths didn't cross, but alas by the time I'm back from Canada he'll be on his way back home to the UK. Pity too, since I think I owe him a beer or twelve for all his help with the book. Glad you got to catch up with him though! Yes I was really disappointed to miss Tom.
