It's not how much you miss, it's how much you miss it! :)
Looking at the posting list it seems the crowd has thinned a bit? (Almost
all posts seems to be from the same core group of people). Mike around?

Seems my website is living on although not beeing maintained or updated
(shame on me!), there's like 44000 downloads now...

> Mike around?

I'm glad to see you're still kickin' TA!  I left for awhile after I
pissed off even some of the people here I actually like.  Now, more
sedative prescriptions in hand, I am going to give it another go.  You
and I will talk outside here.  But I will say this to tell you more than
you want to know: I'm moving again in a few months, just into either the
town of Prescott itself (I live in Prescott Valley - me no likey
anymore) or some outlying area where I can have a little space.  And,
I've adopted TWO CATS!!  They're named Nickie and Dahlia.  I work at a
cat rescue house four or five days per week doing everything except
veterinary work, and I've become quite attached to the place and the 25
or so cats that are passing through at any given time.  Anyway, Nickie
is a beautiful little tuxedo just like my much-lamented, late great
Sweetie.  Dahlia is just one of the most beautiful black cats I have
ever seen.  She was real skinny when she came in but now she's filled
out and is gorgeous.  They're being boarded at the rescue house until I
move.  I can't wait.

Thanks for asking and I'll try to stay around.

Alright, alright, so I'm an emotional man, known to shed a tear in
moments of great beauty and tragedy - the wonder of a love, the power of
friendship, the price of Sassicaia...

It's not a crime you know!

..tears, that is (oil, that is... Texas Tea...  NO!).

The price of Sassica, however, IS a crime...

no man, the taste!  the taste of wonder wine is worthy of a tear, not
the price.

if it was, i know who'd be locked up for life under the three strikes law.

Fine company deserves fine drink.  It eliminates the fear of running
short on both.

Sniff, sniff....  Now you're starting to get me doing it.

And I'm sure MC's moping his tear/eye tattoo as well.

Bored, are we?  Didn't those posts from the young Schumi fan enthrall
you enough?  You should do what any self-respecting disaster junkie is
doing at this hour - WATCHING THE WEATHER CHANNEL AND CNN.

Particularly Stephanie Abrams.  Even in her windbreaker and rain pants
you just know those juggies are swinging away underneath ...

Go Wilma go.

NICE! What would life be like without our little feeline friends? One of
mine had kittens recently so now I've got 5 running all over the place here

While we're sharing cat stories, ours had to have ear surgery
last week so she wore the "cone of shame" upon completion.

...for twelve hours, then at 4:00am I go out to investigate a
noise only to find the former "radar kitty" frolicking joyfully
and jumping over the barrier I had put up to rein her in so she
wouldn't get her rice-paddy hat wedged under the furniture.

Meanhile the cone is lying right in front of the bedroom door.

She had spent the entire time home pawing at it and walking
backwards trying to take it off, so she was celebrating. She
even tittered at me as if to say "isn't it great?"

Needless to say I went back to bed...

My deepest congratulations/condoleances (as apropriate ;) ). Think I heard
some talk about it before I dissapeared, but that was more like planning I
think (but then again, I've got the memory of a gold fish so i might be
wrong.
So now you've got your personal full time mechanic to fix you up when
needed, must be nice ;) ;)

Do gold fish have bad memories?
