Just wanted to say hello. According to the software I last visited on September 24, 2002 (at 2:38 pm, to be exact).
I was surprised to learn that there is now a fee associated with membership, but that’s probably a good idea. (However, if it is intended to keep the riffraff out, my enrolling is a counterexample.) Since I continue to be independently wealthy (my wealth is independent of my income–Mrs. Pluto holds the purse strings) coughing up the requisite change was no problem.
For those who don’t know me I’m a software engineer working for a large(!) airplane manufacturer in the Seattle area. I’m a big fan of Leo Kottke and you can be my friend if you know who he is.
I used to post fairly regularly. I’ve forgotten why I stopped. It’s unlikely that it was because I ran out of things to say. I will confess that it was my misguided attempts to answer people’s real questions in other forums that finally made me realize I didn’t know everything. Now I only know most things.
Well, hello. We were almost two ships that passed in the night – until you came back. I joined in October after you left in September. I hate being a cliche anyway.
I saw Leo Kottke perform here in Nashville several years ago. I think we have a VHS around the house somewhere too. He is so smoooooth. Do you play?
Yes, I remember you Sassy – barflies and mariachi bands, IIRC.
Glad to see a few Kottke fans. I’m ashamed to admit I don’t know where "Stealing " was stolen from.
And yes, I’ve acquired a moon (or two or three) and have been battling to uphold my planetary status but I think common sense well prevail.
In my other identity, running things down here has been, well, hell. Skyrocketing oil prices are forcing cutbacks – we now alternate the flames: on for a million years, off for a million years. Brimstone futures are looking good though.
