I don't know, nor am I sure, what exactly is to be said about my posting again. The response has not been overwhelming, or it has not been noticed, so I humbly take that as an obvious clue. To the veterans: I cannot apologize for any past behavior as I, like most, react and respond with honest intentions. And, as a rule, think before I post. Whatever was written was well thought out. Since then, I have been lurking, watching the new interactions. It is comforting. I do not intend to disrupt the new community whatsoever.
I did want to take the time and let you know, it was an exciting, interesting, experience in Vegas. New frienships have developed, old re-kindled to some degree, and others turned more casual. Those of you unable to attend were missed tremendously! Perhaps next time ...
About the future: I will be around, sporadically. If you don't care to interact, I understand; if you do, I welcome that too, and will do my best to be civil.
Wishing all those that celebrate - Happy Thanksgiving - Cheers!
