I looked for you a few times, but you weren't in the pit when I went by.
I think your team may have been sitting in the stands behind us during opening ceremonies on Friday.

The lead inspector for Long Island and I actually found it quite refreshing to be unknown in Richmond. At home people are usually looking for us for one reason or another, but neither of us know many people down here, other than the NJ teams.

Kate the FTA recognized me when my team had a problem on the field, but she had to ask why she knew me, because I was so out of place-400 miles from home and wearing a different team shirt threw her off. She knows me as a team leader from Hauppauge. I only had to say "Hauppauge" (pronouncing it correctly) and she made the connection. I need a haircut too...
