I’m nowhere near troutman’s number, but it’s more than I initially thought.
I’m for sure missing some, but here is a partial list:
- troutman—we first met over a decade ago, and now are fishing buddies and good friends.
- Locke—he probably doesn’t remember but I met him at FATS in Kensington back when that existed, and had a beer or two (troutman was there too)
- Bownesian — a really old friend from Junior High.
- corporatejay - former co-worker and still a good friend.
- Thor - fellow Icelander, and I believe we met IRL when we were kids through the Icelandic community
- csnarpy - long time ago now but we played a few home poker games
- VladtheImpaler - also played poker at my house when I was still organizing that sort of thing.
- Philly06Cup—unless I’m mistaken we met in law school
- Slava - he taught me some fly fishing, I am teaching him some chess… turnabout is fair play
- GioforPM - he probably doesn’t know we’ve met, but we have. We travel in the same professional circles …
I’ve also bought game tickets from a handful of people, and as I said I’m sure I’ve missed someone. If that’s you, apologies.
