I missed my 19th two days ago. (Sadly, nowhere near half my age.) On Av's and his squeeze's 23rd anniversary.

Yes, thank you. Somehow, I accidentally deleted part of that post, above, and didn't notice when submitting.

Nine years and one day on the Watch, for me (as an official member, as I lurked on the Watch for several years previously).

Congrats, Cord.

And that made me look at my own. 20 years?! Holy hell
"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.”
-George Steiner

thanks Syl, i reckon i owe much of what i have now to you pointing me back here. (you can no longer get to the old three seas bakker forum btw, they have a new one now)

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

It's good to still be a part of the Watch, and I plan to keep participating when I can!

(Looking at Statistics, I note that the Watch has had its best posting month since September 2020. 8O :biggrin: )

Yes, there is a resurgence of posting on the Watch.

Why? One flash-answer might be best understood as a Munchkin choir singing "Ding, Dong..."

I hope to see this as a more active place.
Focus on where you are going and why.
Never lose awareness of how far down "down" is...but don't obsess about it.
