Like Eddie, I've been a hermit myself for a few years now...just living very comfortably, my wife and I raising our daughter and honoring our son...

I love popping up at this site. This place is very sacred to me.

Tickles my Chicago-style to see the SHEEP PEN stickied where it should be.

To get a bit sad and dramatic here:
Y'know one of the reasons it's hard for me to come back to this site sometimes, something I need to psyche myself up for before visiting the forums and/or posting anything?

I really fuckin' miss MAX. He was my bro. It's so weird to come to the Army and not see him contributing in 30 threads, getting passionate about music, starting a few more ridiculous cooking threads...
If shit was going down (sheep, Fabulous Stink-Shadow, SoCalSmell, etc.), he and I would have nightly phone calls, sometimes up to 3 hours, talking both about life and then plotting what we need to do next... We took it SO SERIOUSLY!

What's been new? Who doesn't post here anymore? Did I miss any harmless drama? Has the site changed in any way.

I keep intending to start posting again regularly...then I post a few tidbits and then crawl back into hiding.

Good to see so many fuckers still here...people that spout amazing idea after amazing idea or conversation or way of looking at the world...lot of good writers here.
