Hello.  i'm rick.  I live in North Carolina.  I work at Duke as a Sr. IT
Analyst.  I don't know what that means.  I'm mostly a web programmer.  I met
my wife through friends on m-net.  She and I had known the same friends for
10 years (brad switzer, julie hibbard) before we met.  She even attended
picofests sometimes.  I saw a map of a 1988 picofest at which she apparently
sat near Mike pelletier.

I have a daughter who is almost 4 and very cute.  Plus a dog (sheltie) and
a cat (birman).

If you like cats like persians due to their temperaments but don't like long
hair, shedding, brushing, etc - get a birman.  Every bit as friendly, but
birman's have no undercoat.  He needs NO brushing whatsoever.

I m-net for BBS and grex for party.  Mostly.

I miss playing frisbee with morel at the diag.

I miss the picofests, happy hours, etc, and though I remember/know morel, I
never got to play frisbee, though. But I did get to play volleyball with a
number of grex and m-netters!

Re #19:  Hi, Denise.  Nice to see you back.  As I recall, the Friday
M-Net happy hours were your idea originally.  The first one in 1986 was
attended by all of two people, but then the idea snowballed and within a
year or so it was not at all unusual for 40 or so M-Netters to gather at
Dominick's on Friday afternoon.

By the way, I'm John and have been involved in Ann Arbor conferencing -
first on M-Net, now Grex - since 1984, which is probably longer than
anybody else here except maybe janc and lk.  I'm a retired computer
science prof. who plays ragtime piano.  For more info, visit

Hi Remmers, you're retired now? EMU will miss you!  And I recall our first
HH with the 2 of us compromising the intitial event. We all turned into a
pretty rowdy bunch at times, didn't we?  Is Domonick's still around/survive
us all?  Whenever I make it back to MI, we'll have to try another HH some day.
And what about the walks at Gallup Park on Saturday mornings and trips to
Zingerman's??

Re #23: Denise - The Grexwalks at Gallup Park are still alive and well - we
walk every saturday, rain or shine.  (Well, mostly.)

Dominicks is also doing fine, though I think maybe they close for the
winter.  We quit going to Zingerman's every week, and now go to different
restaraunt for lunch each week after the walk.  We went to Dominick's at
least once last summer.

Hmm, I don't recall Dominicks closing in the winter but then, its been so
long since I lived in AA...  Maybe it was that wild group of people that hung
out downstairs that done them in.

The Grexwalks in one shape or form, has been going on even longer than the
HHs ever did [as I'm one of the originators of this while it was still over
on mnet]. Though I'm so out of shape right now, I know I couldn't walk as far
as everyone else, plus, I just poke along slow anyway.  Looks like I'll have
to get in shape to be able to join y'all again.

Dominik passed away, his son Richard had been running the place for quite a
while before that and still is.  STeve knows the family and we lived next door
to Richard and his mom when we lived on Dewey (the site of many Grex
potlucks).  We had dinner there a few weeks ago and talked to Richard a bit.

But the fountain is, well, worth the mediocre food.  And sometimes what 
you really want is Greek-Korean food.

When I was a regular attendee at the M-Net happy hours at Dominick's,
back in the 1980s, I would usually have a fish&fungus pizza and a bottle
of Hacker-Pshorr (sp?).   Mmmmm, good....

On the rare occasions that we go to Dominick's nowadays, I find that the
combination still works.

How's Meg?
I also remember sometimes doing the Happy Hour at Dominics and then sometimes
we'd go elsewhere for dinner.
