There are a couple things that Texas does not have bigger than NorCal. Like a  group of friends of the NCKA and Lingzilla's. Good luck down there!  :smt006

I'm totally grateful for what Bill Pennington started here.  He created the forum and helped set the tone for the community.  NCKA is still one of the friendliest communities on the web and I've been a member of many.  I've met some of my best friends here at NCKA.

I wish Bill and his family only the very best.  They deserve it!!!!

Pretty much sums it up for me, as well.

Vy works late tonight, so I can't make it. Have a hell of a time!

I just called Hokkaido Buffet and made a 7pm reservation for 15+ people under "NCKA".
Dinner is $19.99 and the sushi and seafood buffet is pretty good for that price.
