Mr. F? I don't think anyone even ever called my father that. : ) My apologies 
for confusing you with the friend who did the drilling. And actually, I look 
nothing either one of the guys on the cover of EU. I do have my likeness on a 
few Doomtown cards though. I like the ones of me as Fasthands Freddy the 
best.

Well, I'm sure I would have enjoyed myself behind a table in a booth too. 
Still, it was relaxing to be able to take in the show at my own pace and 
wander around for a bit. 

I'll be doing the same at Gen Con too, although I have one scheduled event 
there: a seminar on Dragonstar. 

Take care,
