Is everybody waiting for me to post, or has there been a wholesale abandonment of yet another
message board, or has there been a PC-only virus epidemic that swept Phoenix, Tucson and Milwaukee,
or has our inability to get together in person finally spread to cyber get togethers as well, or what?

I could be a judgemental prick and say its laziness. I don't know what to tell ya Curt, I got tired of checking the site every morning and see no additional messages then the last set I've written. Maybe others are so busy doin' their own shit that they don't have time.
Gosh, I miss the ol'days when I'd become the emotional bully and get men in a tizzy and the next thing ya know there's some serious exchanges goin' on. Since I took an oath of being a good boy and not upsettin' the boat, it seems as if the sites slowly become stagnant and lifeless. I miss dishing out some tough love.
Now watch, after this message, they'll be a good three to four days before any further messages are posted. I've decided to take a more reactive role now. I'll respond but I don't plan to initiate a conversation.

I've got kids for half a day tomorrow while the Iron Maiden is at some kind of workshop.(I believe she is learning more effecient ways of sucking the life out of middle age men.) I'll be home by 1:00pm. I'll be on and off the phone, calling for sponsors for the show. I might go with the kids to the zoo for trick or treating. Some new thing....kids can get some great candy if they can get it from the tiger and bear habitats.
I'll be home after 9:30pm tomorrow night.I'll be home all day and night on Saturday.
I'll be home Sunday afternoon after 2:00pm...we have Halloween this sunday...since the 31 is on a weekday.

Author: Jeff [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 16:53:15 10/25/02 Fri Oh, I forgot. the number is 414-778-0543. Destroy the old number. If you call it, Kim sends a bolt of flesh searing energy through the lines.

Author: Jeff [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:29:48 10/25/02 Fri Hey, don't be surprised if the answering machine kicks in, I may be screening my calls in case the Iron Maiden decides to call on some meaningless BS. If I'm there, I will pick up right away....If not...then I"m taking a shit :)

I'm back. Just recently I was hit by a virus that wiped out one of my 2 hard drives. I got my system back online today. Before that I've been working double shifts and side jobs like crazy, but Jeff knows that because we've been writing. :-/ Today I'm starting to pack up for my move to a new apartment next week. I'll keep the same phone number and I'll send out my mailing address to you all when I get it. So lately, John = busy, but not too busy to check in here when I can and write something.

Ken has reestablished contact after his hospital visit, mentioning when he was available for an online meeting but no one responded to him. I imagine that he's feeling ignored.

Curt, I'm happy to see you posting here. Other than asking why we aren't posting, can you contribute a bit? How are you? What are you doing lately? Are you interested in the instant messaging meetings? If you're fading away and not posting and something happens simultaneously to Ken and me, and Jeff decides to stop posting until he see something, then yes, this place is going to dry up. There are only 4 of us. This is kind of like a tennis game of doubles where during the game one person bends over to tie his shoe laces, a second walks off the court without warning to get a drink, the third stops to answer a cell phone and the fourth stands around waving his racket furiously wondering why the ball isn't being returned. :-)

I'm also happy that Jeff has not thrown a wrench in the works just to get a response. That's the kind of thing that will keep me away.
