Andy, I was too late to post this in a certain other thread:
I think it's admirable that HandyAndy continues to read books and promote the reading of books in a time when the internet seems to have scrambled or at least reconfigured the brains of so many others, making it more difficult for them (including me) to read books, a skill which requires sustained attention.
Of course I know there are others on this site (e.g., Torunn and Pondy, probably no1maurader, and perhaps many more) who also still read books, but Andy's example was the most prominent for me.

A compliment for HandyAndy
HandyAndy is able to make a telling or laugh-out-loud comment with less words than most posters here.

@kevin-eleven saidThe complimentary thread was removed and I'm not sure if Andy was in time to read what was said about him. I can only repeat: Andy is special, and a special friend to me.

@great-big-stees saidYes we have, and when I was in New York a few years ago with my friends, I thought maybe I could fit in a meet-up with you then, but it wasn't possible - I think you and your partner were planning another trip.
I met Handy and his wife, along with several other RHPers, at a meet up in Rhode Island a while back but have not yet been able to have had the pleasure of meeting, in person, the lovely torunn, though we have spoken in the past.
But I have seen the photos of your meet-up with the chess friends including Andy and his wife, and you all seemed to have a very good time.
