I’ve tried searching and looked at the In Memoriam sticky, I can’t find anything. I very much miss **Zev Steinhardt**. IMO He was wise and good and seemed fun to be around. I fear he is now of blessed memory. ---

I’d like to see **Le Ministre de l’au dela** return. He used to host the short fiction and poetry contests, and he was quite knowledgeable about music. ---

Only on ocassion. Not all the time. Shagnasty was a pretty smart guy and he and I worked for the same company in the past although I’ve never met him. ---

Hi! I came back. 😀 Ontario is gradually coming out of its covid-induced estivation and so am I. I was talking to **@Spoons** a few days ago for the first time in an age, and he mentioned this thread and the Dope. I’ve been too long hiding under the covers: masking up and only going to work and to buy food and necessities. I haven’t even seen friends in Toronto in a year and a half! There’re a few posters I remember. Ages ago, during the days of welcoming new posters with tales of the Initiation Complex and the squid and [del]frisky[/del] fresh ice cream, **@Kythereia** and I had a few shared text adventures. And there was the time **@HazelNutCoffee** visited Toronto and we had a Mini-Dopefest. And I sent cards to various Dopers on occasion. I miss Toronto and its intellectual freedom. Thanks to some truly good friends, this small city I live in now is a quiet refuge from the pandemic, and it has given me a job. But I have to wade through way too much conspiracist belief and paranoia on the part of certain co-workers to be truly comfortable here. But I’m working on the next phase. One of my short stories got published in a compilation, and I am working on writing and drawing more, including my first children’s book. Hopefully I’ll be back more often. ---
