So not a new member but been gone a bit. Took a break to do life for a while. A couple of months turned into about 4 years. Just throwing it out to the old guard. Glad to see so many familiar faces still around. No way I can catch up with past threads but I'll be skipping around. Was glad to see I was missed. Even had a great compliment about how re-reading some of my old posts had helped some folks. Dont know how active I'll be for awhile but I'm getting my feet wet again. Might go start a debate with Chelloveck!! Lol
Well, am pleased that you are in the land of the living, I was concerned that you had fallen off your perch or that you had been languishing in some Middle Eastern place of detention.
With Covid travel restrictions I was forced to take early retirement. Moved back stateside last year. The bar never worked out. Might have to start one here. Hmm, The Monkey Tree Lounge
Missed you MM. The place wasn't the same without our "Chaplain." Coming up on 16 years since we started our journey together and as much as life has changed for all of us, some things remain the same. Older for sure, wiser maybe, but we know our friends still have our backs.
Glad to be back. Missed the monkeys. You and Eddie are the only two from here I've stayed in touch with. With everything going on in the world today it's good to have friends you can count on.
I'll never forget a a really hard Christmas for me many years ago when the phone rings and who was on the other end but Tommy. I don't think you will ever understand what that call meant to me. That's when I knew you were a friend I could count on.
