Indeed, I am alive.1st off.. a HUGE thank you to RJ and Aimee for continuing to send me a Christmas card every year. You rock. I am terrible at those type of things, but I will do better next year! Huzzah! 2ndly.. I hope everyone is doing well now that we are well into 2008. In about 9 months it will mark the 10 YEAR anniversary of my fateful meetup with that there band "teh Ataris". Man do I feel old. As I sit here listing to some Twisted Sister (I WANNA ROCK!), I reflect over all the time that has passed. And I think, wow, thats a lot of time. Anyways. I am continually amazed that there are still people here, through no work of my own (trust me, I do no work) you guys (and girls) have stuck around. For that I applaud you. Now.. who is still alive?

Man, Paul and I having nostalgic moments at the same time. ROCK OUT!NOTE: RJ, thanks for the Xmas card as well. I actually sent one to you, only to have it come back as you no longer live at the address I sent it to. I suck. Hard. Like a shop vac, struck by lightning, in a puddle.

Still alive, still the oldest here... still in France, still with Kim (which makes us the one an only NEt Hijinx married couple), no kids yet (except Kim maybe), still working in the space industry, still commited and quite a ranter, still thinking we overfish What happened to all the other threads? Congrats on everyone's joyful events. As for the time capsule this site represents, I must say I stopped listening to the Ataris a long time ago (fortunately) although I like to listen to Blue skies every now and then. Wow 10 years since "lookig forward to failure" (and what a visionary title  ) It's funny how things changed. 10 years ago, topical messageboards were the main virtual social networks. Now it's more sites like myspace/facebook which only goal is to make people connect whatever the means. Some day we'll look at this site like we look at elders : with respect, care and the thought that it's way outdated

I've been incommunicado for a while haven't I...seems as if everyone else has as well.I've had a lot going on as of late...most of it falls under the category of same old...but things are pretty good despite what may be perceived as monotony...to the untrained eye, every day looks the same but things could not be more different. The job's good...well I suppose you could call it a career now since I've been at at for about ten years (just a bit longer that I've been on the board...during it's earlier inceptions of course). Things are a bit slow but we're looking at a pretty good influx of work in the next few months which will liven things up nicely for the holidays. The Mrs. is well...we did have a scare this spring though...no not that kind...the cancerous kind...turn out she had a mole that turned into a Melanoma (just about the worst kind of skin cancer one can get), luckily she's really good about "reading" her body and she caught it before it had evolved into something more menacing. She did have to have it excised which left her nursing a pretty nicely sized scar on our Hawai'i trip. Caitlyn still manages to amaze on pretty much a daily level...she 6 and in first grade. She just finished up a winning soccer season and has expressed interest in taking up skateboarding (not at all due to my influence  ). Oh yeah...and I have a pituitary adenoma, which is a tumor on my pituitary gland...the doctor caught a fairly serious hormone imbalance after my last physical and decided to follow up with a MRI, which let to the consultation with an endocrinologist that turned into a follow up with a neurosurgeon. To make a long story short I can either pop pills for the rest of my life or I can get the thing carved out a pulled out through my nose...so in the coming months I'll be going under the knife...the surgery and recovery are pretty easy as it's been explained to me so I figure it's the least invasive alternative to my lifestyle...spend a week or so recovering from surgery as opposed to having to remember to take a pill the rest of my existence with the threat that the tumor will again grow should I become forgetful. Well...I guess that's the update for now.

Updates are good.Sorry to hear about the health setbacks RJ, although thankfully it seems that all has been/will be well thanks to modern medicine. The first 100% BoredBaby will be making its appearance come April. David has promised me that by then the extra bedroom will no longer be a closet and that the baby will not have to sleep upon stacks of computer magazines from the 90s (I kid you not). I'm crossing my fingers that he follows through. I am working on a masters degree in what would probably best be described as comparative literature. Currently working on my 100-page research paper (which I'm hoping to finish before April as well) which is about the transposition of the political allegorical reading of The Wizard of Oz to Gregory Maguire's Wicked. I think I may have bit off a bit more than I can chew, as no one seems to have done any sort of academic work with Wicked as of yet, but if I do manage to pull it off I do think it will be quite awesome. Also working on getting myself a full-time job at the school where I currently work. Hoping to have something more administrative come next school year. Fingers crossed. David is still doing his long commute to work and such. Also still being all nerdy and playing computer games until the wee hours of the morning (5am last night). I keep hoping he'll outgrow it, but no. Hmmph. That's all from this side of the Atlantic.
