I love the term 'transported', Baile. Hi, Shivani.
Hi, Miss H.

Yeah, it's also quite the "It's life, Jim...but not as we know it" moment.

I am enjoying this discussion as well and thank you for explaining where the term "grok" came from. I've never read that book.

I wish we could all meet in Hawaii...but that's out of my budget, so this thread on SF will just have to do.

It's nice having the 'old gang' back together...it brings out a more 'relaxed' version of myself.
