Hello all,
Sorry for my leave of absence.... haven't really gone aywhere but just couldnt really be here. I've spent the last few months piecing things back together. My own fault really, but once I found out I had it I really just couldn't face anyone. I mean, I spent 6 or 7 years off and on gtting to know some of you folks. I couldn't just sit here and let you all watch me die and that's what I though was going to happen.
I sort of detached from most of my friends, distanced myself from family and spent any time that I wasn't sick with the wife and kids so they'd have fond memories of their dad.
I had a letter written for you all and my wife swore she would send it but thatnkfully it didnt come to that.
Stomache cancer is a bitch, but I managed to beat it.1/4 of my stomache removed, volleys of pills and radiation therapy and he love of my kids kept me together. I'm happy to report that I'll be bugging you people for a while longer
Still on some drugs but I'm back to work at a new job. Some of my borgs are sill running and my home boxen never went down. I'll have a few more up this weekend and might be able to borg a few at work soon.
Thanks for all the kind emails, especially you Travis who made me feel connected eventhough I was pushing everone away.
I'm back and I'm pissed. Damn thing tried to kill me..... now it's personal.
Be in touch more often. Only one PC I can get here on at home until I get my laptop up this weekend and the kids are on it alot.
