[Harp-L] Re: Historical perspective of harp-l

[AV1901@xxxxxxx]

I've enjoyed being a member for over 10 years. It was easier to pay close 
attention and sometimes participate back when I was a computer systems analyst 
for the State of Delaware. Yes, I'll admit I spent some (significant) desk time 
reading Harp-L posts at my desk when maybe I should have been working harder 
as a Banyan Vines admin. or writing SQL queries to the database....

Now that I mostly read the digest and occasionally post from home (since I've 
been in public education for @ 9 years and am now an Assistant Principal at a 
high school - for my day job), I still enjoy the experience of talkin' harp.

I've learned a lot, found friends, discovered new talent, picked up a nice 
Hurricane V-8 amp, and chuckled at some of the oh-so-serious occasional 
squabling that results when folks talk to each other without the benefit of seeing 
facial expressions. On the whole, its a very well run, very civillist that 
includes incredibly bright and experienced members.

My thanks to all the folks from Chris to Hugh to Barry et al that make it 
work.

Extra harp content: we played the Chesapeake Inn on the deck yesterday 12:30 
- 4:30 and had a great time. 80 degrees F and sunny. We had a sax and B-3 in 
addition to the usual line-up and had a great time, going wireless onto the 
dock, watching a young lady in a very patriotic Memrial Day bikini waxing her 
boat. Life is good!  http://www.chesapeakeinn.com/
