What is the deal? Everytime I reply to a topic today, it’s right behind kelli. Not that I mind the view, or anything…

I miss Byzantine too. Not only is she one of the two posters that brought me out of lurker status (Just **guess** who the other poster is 🙂 ), but her poetry thread from last month inspired me to write the first verse in 13 years. Not that it was any good, but it’s a start 😉

**We miss you!**

You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing.

Ya, she told me she was rafting. I didn’t realize it would be this long a trip, though.  
Now I have a bit of the _overprotective big brother worry syndrome_ going on. No, she’s not my real sister. That’s just how I feel toward women I like who are younger than me.

…and how old did you say you were? Always wanted an older brother (even if it was just to disapprove of me!)
