Ben, we met your Mother on the train

On the train eating lunch and of course I get into my “bore the other people at the table by talking geek talk” aka patching, security issues and what not.... and we start trying to describe what we are and why we're going to Seattle and the lady across the table starts saying that her son was going to be up in Redmond starting Wednesday.

She says he doesn't work at Microsoft, but he does a lot about Digital Media and helps online.... hmmmm we start to think....

Steve and I look at each other and say “will he be there Wednesday through Saturday?”  Yes.  We look at each other even more..... “What's his name?”

Ben Waggoner, Microsoft MVP for digital media... Steve Foster and I had lunch with your Mum on the Amtrak to Seattle... hope to meet you in person!

Wouldn't it be funny if he ends up in the same hotel as we do?
