    I ran into Dan late night at the hotel on Saturday. We were in the smoking area above the pool. It was nice and quite and were able to talk for a while. Really cool guy. He is a walking text book. Didn't know he is a teacher.

    Sorry I missed you Rob. I was watching for you. Don't know how I missed that hat. I did see Randy. We were both resting our feet outside. I was worn out mid day on Saturday and went back to the hotel. The smoking area there was like a coin show. Folks there were passing around 35K coins. This was the best FUN Show I have ever been to. I may do the FUN summer show.

    Thanks for the entertaining thread. I'm amused by the Gallery Mint's presses being "Invincible No. 1" models.

    I'm reminded of an old movie quote (probably Mel Brooks?) where the bad guy unleashes his "Indestructible 2" machine and the good guys ask "What happened to Indestructible 1?" :hilarious:

    Yeah, funny how we seemingly didn’t cross paths this year. Must’ve been a near miss. Oh well. Big room, lotsa people, right? See you next year, hopefully.

    Or maybe at ANA Savannah next month, if either of us goes to that. I’m thinking about it, since it’s in my neck o’ the woods, after all. But one show a year is usually all my mind (and wallet) can handle. Winter FUN is usually that one outing for me.

    In my regular life (and despite my gregarious internet persona), I’m rather introverted and a bit reclusive, and live a quiet, mostly solitary existence.

    Still, it’s nice to come out and be social for one special yearly event. :)
