Yeah, she's fine, it's just the time off that I'm worried about. And the finances. And the fact that it'll be the first time that I've met people that I knew online since I was an internet addict, which was a pretty dark time for me. Ah, the demons of the past! Grr.

Glad to know that your wife is doing well Don, as is Jem's mother. :)

Jem, I can say with full honesty that everyone I have met from the Watch and had enough time with to actually have a long conversation with, has been a delight. 8) I fully expect that everyone I will meet for the first time at the Retreat Weekend will also be delightful. :D

This thread seems to get hung up everytime the page changes. Not sure why? :?
Love as thou wilt.

Before I moved to Florida, I lived in a small town next to Poughkeepsie, called Highland. Middletown is about 45 minutes from Highland.

I would have loved to have been able to meet all of you, and it sounds like you are going to have such a lovely time! It is a beautiful area, in the middle of the Catskill Mountains, and I am sure you will all find plenty of things to do, or nothing at all, if that is your pleasure.

Not being able to attend is definitely my loss. :(

You guys have a great time! :)

Argh! Why'd you have to move?!? There's not enough of us living here!

So what's the deal, no family or friends you need to visit in, say, August? :mrgreen:

I'm still planning on it.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I'm more excited about meeting you guys than SRD, although that would be a trip and a half.

I'm still hoping to come :)
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~

~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.
