Dinner w/Griff and John (Unity)
Just got home from a delicious dinner and great time with Griff and John (Unity). I was afraid the plan was gonna fall through due to the weather (snow & sleet) but there was no way I was gonna wimp out due to weather when having dinner with someone from Alaska!! I had to show, I wasn't skeered of the ice and snow!! Then Griff gets there and tells me the forecast for his return trip home was pretty good, they were calling for highs in 10's  . I don't know how people deal with that extreme weather......
Anyways, Griff, John and their wives were some of the nicest people I've ever had the opportunity to meet! We had a fantastic dinnner and talked like we'd known eachother for years! I'm already looking forward to our next opportunity to get together for good food and company again! I'm skeered of flying so Mr. & Mrs. Griff, we'll meet again when you hit the East Coast again! John, you and Jody will have to head on out to the big ole' city of Bealeton, Virginia soon since you're right up the road in the city! I'll cook something for us!! Linda and I had a fantastic time meeting all of you and look forward to getting together again! The pleasure was all ours!

Sounds like a good deal.
Griff and Unity are a couple of regular World travelers.

I want to know what to expect when I run into the fine folks on this board. Might be a reason to get out and meet them sooner!

Griff and Unity have hated me for years! They bought Larry and Finney dinner, and only took me out for drinks! Bastards!!

We'd have liked to have met more of y'all, but we didn't slow down much except to eat barbecue. Twenty-five hundred and one miles of the Greater Southeast in a week.
BTW, Ray Lampe and Dave DeWitt earned our awed respect: They ate at 22 joints in 6 days, an average of 3 2/3 bbq meals a day! We didn't match that, only partly because we were on the road on a Sunday. (Who woulda guessed that NC closes down on Sunday?  )
I'll try to put together a Web page with our food stops and ratings in the next few days -- you guys'll be the first to know who we think serves memorable bbq, and where we wouldn't stop again.
