Well, I knew it would pass me by. I missed my post #20,000.

But allow me to raise a glass in celebration of all my DU friends. You folks are the best. I wish I could meet every one of you in person. Imagine a cruise ship full of DUers. Wouldn't that be something?

I deliberately distracted you so you'd forget all about 20,000. I promise to make it up to you when you approach 100,000 by sending a reminder telegram!

Congrats on 20K!

I'm afraid of deep water and being on boats. But I would love to meet many DUers.

I'll light one up in your stead, can't drink anymore either. But I have pot so that will do.

Yeah, cruises arent for everyone. I've been on a few, but the ones today aren't like the first one I went on in '77. I doubt I'll ever go on another one.

Are due back this week from a cruise, they like it, island hopping around the Caribbean. After looking at the size of those things these days, it's like an impromptu city convenes for a couple weeks and disperses. Interesting behavior, I wonder what future anthropologists would think of it years from now when nobody does that anymore.

Only took you 11 years to reach the 20,000 post threshold. I reached it late last year but it took me 19 years!

May you have many more prolific years ahead.
