Hey, now. There's a time for kicks, and there's a time for flip flops.
That's very cool that you two talked on the phone. It's great to see friendships building out of this forum. Well, I'm assuming that's what it is, and he wasn't calling you up out of the blue (after having stalked his way to your phone number) to yell at you about one of your posts.
I'm looking forward to meeting Matt before he takes off for another assignment, as well as Jamie when he comes to town on tour.
