Subject: I am still amazed that I fell in love with a TV show! I don't even watch much TV, and almost never anything serious. Baseball, football, the local news, an occasional comedy...that's my usual stuff. On the whole, I'd rather read. (inside)

But there I was, in the fall of 2001, mesmerized by a show I knew almost nothing about. It was the famous scene from Silent Service (if I remember the episode name correctly), and I couldn't stop thinking about it.

I looked up JAG on the computer, and found Maeve's, and fell further in love. There was only a minor family connection with the service (a son who had recently finished a hitch in the Marines), so I had a lot to learn. The stories were interesting, the people were beliveable and likable (mostly!). I got involved in deep discussions, read bushels of fanfic (even wrote a few for the ficathons), and generally immersed myself in the world of Harm, Mac, and company. It was a terrible loss when it ended, although I can't see where it would have gone from where they left it. I guees it was time for it to go.

I still visit the board every day, and vote faithfully in Hunk of the Month. I have missed JAG tremendously, but what keeps me coming back is the wonderful group of people I've met on this board. It was a great idea to make the board a portal, and I've enjoyed that format. Traffic is slowing down now, nine years (can't believe it!) after the end, and probably it will eventually die out. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, and I hope there will still be a few of us to keep the lights on!
