We like you!
I specifically went to look for you in your pit, but didn't catch up to you until we passed on the field. Atlanta is hard that way. We're mostly walking back and forth all day, just check Kathie's pedometer.

Sometimes, people have to jump in front of me, like Jenny did in the airport (repeatedly), before I see who's right before my eyes. I unfortunately block out most of the world sometimes when I'm very focused, as when I'm counting students coming (or not coming) through the security gate at the airport, or when there's ice cream in the offing...

I sure don't recognize everyone from their WAI and name tags would help. It's a little unnerving when you chat with someone you casually meet, then they address you by name as you part. You get to spend the rest of the day worrying about out who that nice person was...
Once a young man probably around 20, struck the back of my car on the highway. He was very apologetic and no damage was done. When we got back in our cars he finished with "Goodbye Mr. McLeod." I have no clue who that was...

I have a lot of those, but the fleur-de-lis needs to be replaced by a FIRST logo, and I still have to squint to read them sometimes.

How about if we all wear silly hats instead? No wait .....we already do that don't we?
