Introducing: zbrosdad!

My brother Will (who lurks here occasionally but doesn’t post) and I went to high school with David (zbrosdad) over thirty years ago. We moved to Minnesota, and David’s family stayed in Illinois for a while longer. After a while we lost touch with one another.

I sometimes do searches for friends I remember from years ago with not too much success. I think that is because most of my girlfriends probably took their husband’s names so they are now untraceable. But after a few tries and some research by my brother, we found David again.

He lives in the San Diego area with his wife Meta and their two children, Zachary and Zane (thus the zbrosdad). He does a job that is pretty technical, and so does my brother, so they both understand each other but I really don’t. I will e-mail him this link and he can explain things more when he arrives.

Both Will and I are so happy to rediscover this old friend, (well, not that old, forty something) and I am very happy to welcome him and introduce him to this board.

Welcome, zbrosdad aka David!

And here I thought we were getting another Minnesota doper. :slight_smile:

Hiya, zbrosdad! I’m Silver Fire, aka Sarah. Hope you have a fabulous time with us here at the SDMB. It’s a great place really. Full of some of the best people on the 'net. You’ll have fun, I’m sure.

Curses. This Close to being the first to welcome him. Oh, well, welcome, David, and may you become healthily addicted to this second world!

Thanks for the introduction. Meta and I have been online for a very long time, including our time on BBS’s it’s probably been 15 years. But the net sure does have some interesting side effects. Hearing from folks that you haven’t talked to in 31 years is pretty trippy and then to find out that they are on the same wavelength as you have been all these years is really something else. I’m looking forward to interesting folks and discussions as the days pass and all of you get to know us better.

David

David, do you still play the tuba, or some other kind of horn?

My dad had asked, and I forgot to relay his message.

I am in awe of the Internet. I never thought Will and I would find David again, and it took less than four days over the Net. From a very large school we all three attended, he is one of the people we never forgot.

Thank you all for welcoming our friend.

Hey there zbrosdad, glad to have you here.

Any pal of Spidey’s is most welcome to these boards. Welcome to a very cool place.

Welcome aboard, zbrosdad. Any friend of the eight-legged lady is a friend of mine.

Welcome, zbrosdad aka David!

And for the spider, here’s a fly (what kind, I cannot guess! They’re harder to do than you think)

where the fuck is this guy?

Greetings, zbrosdad! :smiley:

sorry zbrosdad…long posts confuse me, didn’t see your reply. Welcome aboard.

Hi, zbrosdad! It’s nice to meet you :slight_smile: I hope you enjoy your stay here…

welcome!

There’s a line from a song thats pretty appropriate,

“You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave”

heh heh :wink:

Welcome, zbrosdad! If Spider Woman vouches for ya, you must be OK!

. . . and Piano, thanks for that cool fly. How did you do that? I’m vegetarian (very strange spider) but will probably keep it as a pet. Or maybe give it to my turtle.

David, what are BBSs? Some kind of message boards, probably?

Hi, zbrosdad!

I am really fond of Spidey, and if she likes you, that is more than good enough for me!

Welcome, and I hope soon we will get to welcome your lovely wife as well!

Scotti

Thanks everyone for your hospitality. This community reminds me of the Xanadu BBS that used to exist here in San Diego 10 years ago. We enjoyed posting and chatting about any number of important and frivolous subjects (but who’s to say frivolity isn’t important). Just for the record, I no longer play Tuba, I play Bariton horn.

David

Thanks, ////Scotticher\\ !

David, I told my dad you play baritone horn now.

He has an arrangement of “In a Persian Market” (Tubadiva remembers the composer) that he arranged for a tuba trio for state contest one year. They were doing really well, but they couldn’t keep straight faces and all started laughing. The judge told them that up to that point he was going to give them a first, and then they laughed even harder.

Does baritone play treble or bass clef (I should remember this but I don’t; my guess is treble)?

Hi there, zbrosdad! I’m Spider Woman’s oldest daughter. So you knew my mom in high school? Any interesting stories to share?
