"Hello everyone",
I missed you all & thought of you often.

I just read well-wishes from Scorpion, Justin, Freeze and, of course, Ron.  Thanks guyz....

How's school going Vail?  And, MG, I'd gladly exchange phone numbers with you...

Thanks to Mara & Jeanine & Bev (and Necro!) for staying in touch.  You're all such good people.

All of this really means a lot ...  *sniff* ...  (trying not to cry!  lol...)

And I come back to Lana missing?  Again...!?  (Hope it's nothing to do with that former rice-diet.)

I felt compelled to come back, not only because I missed you all and have wondered how things were going ... but, I have news about Ron!  Poor guy has had his pc down for a week and a half now.  He managed to sneak onto his work pc and quickly send a note while making a desperate move in chess.  (Actually, that's not fair -- he's remembered how to play!  Giving me a good run for my money now...)

I think we need to take up a collection for him to get it fixed!

It's been a tough month, that I'm thinkin' will be tough a while longer.  I just didn't want to bring the board down with my "boo-hooing" and self-pity ...   Which, I'm not going to lie to you, "I'm not okay with, yet."  All I can say is, "I'm trying..."  Poor Colley has had to pull out his best material to keep me laughing lately, and I think he needs some help with that.  He needs a break.  Your turn!

Anyway, good to 'see' you all again.  Nice to know you're all there.
I'll try to visit more often.
