Just a quick note to introduce a new member to the community. Sid and I traveled together to Europe to play music with a symphonic band when we were teenagers. We were a fearsome pair and remained close for several years, but our individual hazes in the college years left us lost to each other. We've both been trying over the years to find each other again, and when HST died it made me decide it was time to figure it out once and for all. Persistent Googling allowed me to at least find his parents, and now we are back again to conquer the universe.
So I post this to say two things:
1) Welcome Back Sid! You've been missed and I can't wait to get some time to catch up. Not sure if you'll get the time, but you're certainly welcome to stick around the blog and tell me I'm full of shit when you think it. I've always enjoyed getting your take on things.
2) Another friend once said, its never too late to write. Well, sometimes it is, and I have lost some friends before I got the chance to find them again. But don't let time hold you back. Maybe someone else out there has a phantom from their past they wish was still around. I wish I'd have done it years earlier, but I'm glad to have done it at all. Now is the time.
Nice to meet you, Sid.
Looks like Sid will be held up a bit, as he revives (replaces) his recently destroyed hard drive. I'm told next week is likely.
Well, the Harddrive is Fixed.
1)Ish is ALWAYS and NEVER Full Of Shit.
2)So am I!
30I am as THRILLED to have been found by Ish as he was to find me. I have a feeling our Phone Bills are about to Skyrocket...
