    Hello all, old-timer here. I haven't logged on since 2011. :( I joined back in '02, and used to hang out with the likes of Phantom, AbbySue, Star17, slider, Wenchie, goldfish...sheesh, who else? There was Kodo, GT (who passed away in '07, or something like that) dperino, Gottheit, Bluesman, Adrenalyne, Halo, Tibbs, MrPewty, Boredoutofmymind...I know I'm going to forget somebody and hurt their feelings. :(

    Anyway, I have no idea why I decided to log on, but I wanted to stop in and say hi to anyone who might remember me and Cindy.

    The kids are growing up. Kolya is 15 and going to Northside College Prep, the number 3 high school in the nation!
    Drexel has had his ups and downs, but the last couple years he's been happy and healthy and safe, so we're just grateful for that.
    I'm still playing Celtic music, for anyone who cares. Actually in 2 bands now, the other being "not Celtic".
    And I've been learning to restore old wood working machines. Made a bunch of new good friends doing that as well.
    Cindy is amazing as ever.
    And we have a dog named Linus.

    I hope everybody is doing ok. We think of our friends here from time to time and it always makes us smile.

    Cheers and take care,
    -Eric

    Really glad yo hear from you, this is Halo and I reverted back to my actual name as in David for the forum.

    OMG the kids in colledge! Drexel glad to hear he is doing ok.... time flies like hell these days, and hope Cindy is well too?

    We do miss both your inputs on the forum as we do many of the founding (can I call you that) members of this forum, its still a GREAT place to shoot the shit and fix PC issues, and Tim and Jim have kept to the ethos of Tweakfiles on Majorgeeks, so thats a stable of the internet as I see it.

    Me good now in medicine over imaging/design and working in Ophthalmology research, a really good move for me, as I love the work and people I work with and for.


    Please do not be a stranger

    I missed my friends without realizing it. Funny how the internet works that way.

    Wait. Kolya is FIFTEEN!??! We are not that old! :eek

    It's good to hear from you, and I'm glad to hear all is basically well with all of you. I think about y'all periodically, thank you so much for stopping by with an update!

    Funny how not just seeing you post, but looking at the list of names, reminds me how many of us have wandered away for various reasons. I'm still doing the stagehand thing, so nothing much changes on this end. Good to see you again; hopefully you and/or Cindy will stop by more often.

    I agree and it makes me think of old and new.... more the older members mind, as I just remember the days on MSN messenger with many folks here and the nuts late night chats.

    I still laugh from time to time at the eClayton Marathon Postathons when Cindy was out of town.

    The funniest think I have seen was the case of Cereal sent to Spaceman Spiff also.

    Glad all is well in Chi-town eClayton. Thanks for sayin' hello!

    :celebrate :taz

    Hey Eric! Still want to come up and meet with you and Cindy sometime (I just had my username changed from Wraith to Shadowchaser but I'm still basically the same). I'm not taking offense that you did not mention my name in your list. I think the only things we actually chatted about was Cornerstone and also the issues I had when my sister was in her accident and passed away. It's good to see you made it back here and I'm hoping that you are still coming around since I'm so late in replying to you.

    Yours,
    Jack
