I have been “unavailable” for the past couple of months for reasons I would rather not post here but I left a handful of unfinished trades, buys and possibly sales with members and non-members alike. My "unavailability" was not by choice either.

Please contact me via my personal email address posted above so I can take care of the things I promised. I know I owe Gene a couple of chips and I’ll have them out by the end of the week. I saw that I received a few emails from others and I’ll get to them as quickly as I can but in the meantime I knew I owed everyone here a brief, albeit vague, explanation. If more is needed, I'll explain to those who I'm indebted to only.

I have not read through my emails yet but will do so shortly. For now, I want to relish in some long anticipated time with my wife and kids.

My health is good, moral is better but the fact that I’m home now is a HUGE blessing. And I REALLY missed this board SO much I cannot even explain. I hope everyone is well and in good health. I’ll be back in a day or two (regularly) but will poke in and out in the meantime.

My membership has lapse so I'll be re-upping in a few but I didn't want to NOT use my membership number. Bedo, will this change when I renew?
