I have not met anybody from TVCH. Hopefully that will change when people come to NYC in June.

ButtShot
Can you name these butts?

Well considering that JulieBoo had to travel only 10.4 miles and I needed to travel only 2.8 miles to meet for lunch and that it took over 10 months to accomplish this, I would call them Lazy Butts!

Well, last Monday was the big day. Fresh off my train encounter with Dawg and following many false starts on previous lunches, everything finally came together.

PeekABoo
Since Julie had to drive so much farther than I did,
I arrived first and got a booth. JulieBoo was either pretending to be a little shy or she wanted to play Peek-A-Boo. I'm not sure which, but it didn't last long and we were soon going off on 50 tangents as we talked about all things TVCH and Chicago.

For those of you that were not around last June, let me quickly fill in some details. Many people at TVCH have their online twin. For me, that is JulieBoo. Even though we just met online 10 months ago, we have spent the last 38+ years living less than 30 minutes from each other. Being only one a year apart in age, we have quietly suffered with the Cubs, played at Great America and even shared the same favorite local food chain, Portillo's, together (but not together).
<If you missed all our information exchange last year, you can get the details from either Gracie or Weinermr. They liked to make fun of us in my foilder, but they didn't think we knew! Northern Trust my @ss! LOL!>

So, anyway. We decided 10 months ago that we would have to have lunch at Portillo's some day and that is what finally happened.

Lunch
<Not Pictured: The Beef and Cheddar Croissant. It was good!>

Julie is an awesome person and we had a great time talking about all sorts of things. 2 hours flew by and it was time for me to get back to work. We could have easily talked the rest of the afternoon and we never even got started on 70's cartoons or TV trivia.

I don't know what to say about this picture
Upsidedown
but it looked cute and I wanted to post it.

I believe future lunches will occur more frequently than every 10 months and I believe the Boo part of JulieBoo will be in attendance the next time.

Mr. Sponge! Look at where your hand is on Miss JulieBoo! Are you going for the butt?! What kind of behavior is that for a sponge on a first meeting!?

Very funny ... always love the adventures of the sponge!
JulieBoo looks just as I imagined her:)

Bob, I'm so glad that you and Julie finally got a chance to meet. I was there that fateful afternoon (evening, morning, who knows?) in the Riddles thread when you two first started pointing out all the things you have in common, and I'm happy that all went well in person as it has in here.

It makes me feel happy when I hear about successful meetings like this!

I'm glad you two finally got to meet after all this time. I really enjoyed your post and the great pictures...I knew what you looked like SpongeBob, but I have never seen Julieboo and I must say, she's a doll!

Bob is as sweet in person as he is here in the clubhouse. Amazing how fast 2 hours can go. Of course, not havong "Boo Boo" there helped! Bob, what a memory you have. I totally forgot about the Northern Trust! I also forgot the "list" of things we have/had in common. I bet our houses that we grew up in are less than 5 miles apart. How far is the corner of Roosevelt & Main Street in Lombard from your old house in Addison? (If I had a quicker internet I'd do it myself real fast....)

Bob, those pictures are great. But my red hair came out a little dark...must be the lighting!

Who are you meeting next Monday? You're on a roll now...

Mapquest says just a little over 9 miles from house to house, but if I just enter the cities the distance comes up 4.5 miles. Guess we were each on the far side of our towns, especially since they share a border.

<checks under square butt for a roll>

I'm currently on the every other Monday meeting cycle, so who's going to be in the western suburbs of Chicago on the 28th? I'll keep that day open! :)

I tried a slight color adjustmet to one of the pictures in an attempt to bring out your red hair.
Lunch

I am on the road again. Made it to Orlando last night. No, we are not going to Disney World. Got a witness protection program meeting to attend over in Daytona later in the week (okay, retired agents reunion, drink too much, tell war stories).

We got to the hotel about 11:15 last night. Flew Southwest all day from the west coast, so arrived hungry. Wouldn't you know it, the only close food place still open was Hooters! Took Bigdog there. I am such a good dawg!
