Default It has been a while

Well, I see it has been at least 7 months since my last visit to CA.

Someone did ask privately how I am doing, they were concerned because they had not seen me here in quite a while.

Well, there are no worries. I am doing well. Life has been crazy though, and sometimes certain things just need to be moved back on the priority list.

I will say that there are many here that I missed, and that was a byproduct of my decision to avoid the Asylum because I have a disease called CDD (Cigar Discussion Disorder), a cousin of CAD, PAD, & TAD. I can sit here and read thread after thread after thread, and all of a sudden 3-4 hours are just gone. Maybe it is a problem of self-control.

So, I simply stayed away.

I thought I'd drop in, say hello, and let you know I will be around - but less frequently.

One tidbit is that we sold the old "cabin" (really just a dilapidated mobile home) which was about 2.5 hours away, and bought a home to which we will retire. It is about 50 minutes away, and Pauline even enjoys going up there. It is, like the previous one, a "no internet zone," but that can be a blessing. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, split level ranch with an open concept dining/living room, spacious kitchen, rec room with a bar, 3-season room, 2-car attached garage, and a basement. So, if someone wants to come visit, y'all are welcome.

Selling and buying was a big part of why I have been absent.

Anyway, I have rambled on enough.

Looking forward to "talking" with old friends and maybe making some new ones.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Todd! Great to hear from you! I was actually thinking about you just the other day, wondering what was up and how you are. Glad that things are fine.

Don't get hooked again, if that's what you want, but also don't be such a stranger either.

Well, I knew you were ok Todd, and just assumed you were taking a long breather... So,

I'm hearing a couple of things here: 1) we may just have a new place to herf in the "no internet" zone, and 2) a Sunday edition of the CA newsletter may be in order

Good to see you back Todd and Goooooooooooo Packers

First, thanks for the welcome back. It is good to be missed. I hope to show up a couple times a week at least.

Yeah, that could happen. If you have some dates in mind, let me know.

It is not a place we are moving into, but it is a "retirement" home, so I get up there to mow or to just get away for a couple days.

I do not need a CA newsletter.

Hmm, did a few of those, but I am so set in my ways I do not try much new stuff anymore - at least nothing lately. Maybe I should branch out a bit and get some samples of some stuff to try. What would you like to see reviewed?
