Dean from Deans' Stroke Musings and I met in person last week. He was up in Manitoba for the Winnipeg Folk Festival and we arranged to actually get together. On Thursday, Dean came to The Stroke Recovery Association of Manitoba to meet up with me and our local group. I think he had quite the tour of Winnipeg before finding our office. I was really happy to introduce Dean to a few of my friends. He walked into the office and our staff person called out "Linda .. there is someone here to see you!" and I got so excited! We immediately had lots to talk about. It is funny to feel like you know someone when you have never met or even heard their voice before!We decided to have breakfast on Friday and to continue our conversation. I was going to be back at Stroke Recovery early Friday morning for adapted Tai ji so we just met down the street from there at a nice breakfast place. We had a VERY long brunch but time really seemed to fly. A little longer and I think that between us we would have solved all the problems of stroke research and rehab today. We talked about blogging, camping, music and how to fit me for a kayak.
Dean, it was such a treat to meet you and have the chance to get to know each other! Only 12 more months until the next Folk Festival!

Anyone want to get together in Texas at the beginning of October? I am going down there to meet up with some members of a Yahoo group for people who are crazy about Christmas. I have met up with them 2 times before and we have such a great time.
Gary.. one of these years I will get my husband to go on a trip to the east coast.. and you and I can solve all the rest of the issues concerning Canadian health care!
I have to state, you chose your words well. The ideas you wrote on your encounters are well placed. This is an incredible blog!
