I hadn't seen marzapane or griffinick in months.
I hadn't seen darklingdreams or tammabanana in over a year.
It had been five years since I last saw darktouch.
Six years since I last saw K.W.
Seven or eight years since I last saw alysonwonderlan or G.
I don't know how long it's been since I last saw J.M.
And I'd never met gravities before.

And I'm delighted to say that I caught with all of them in the past few days in D.C. Several of them obligingly moved to D.C. within the past few months, just in time for me to visit them here. I've eaten a bounty of good food and petted an obliging few cats. I've done a smidgen of touring and hours of talking. It's been a wonderful visit.
