> [@Northern\_Piper](#): > > .Agreed - I wish they’d come back. However, I’m guessing that **matt** may be occupied with back-room politics, since the NDP is Official Opposition now. Good point–that’s probably it. Come to think of it, I did see a message of condolence from **matt** in the thread about **Polycarp** ’s passing, so I guess he’s still checking in, at least to read the board, when he finds the time. > [@](#): > > Last post from her [i.e. **mnemosyne**], she had a new job, and a new car, and maybe a new house, so she might just be busy. > > Or it may be that she’s mourning for the poor season by A.C. and the Als 😉 Under those circumstances, I’ll go with “busy.” Yes, the Als had a lousy season, but with all of the above, it sounds like she’d be too busy to pay much attention to them. Thanks for the updates, **NP**! ---

I’m alive and well. I still have a house, but still no job. I guess I just got out of the habit … but I’m always around. I’m like the wind. ---
