Sending a PM to Jayne explaining why I've haven't been seen much made me decide to post, something, anything. I don't have much. The gist of the PM was 'nothing to contribute', that pretty much sums me up. Social gatherings, forums, any situation where there is more than a couple people .. pluck me out, nothing changes. Alone in a crowd, no matter the format. I'm the tiny shrub in the forest of redwoods. Doesn't matter, I'm used to it now.
--==<<BUT>>==--
I am looking forward to a little one-on-one conversation .. erm, two-on-one (my wife will be there, of course) .. this Friday/Saturday when a high speed red truck will come barreling around the corner, hit the brakes, and skid sideways into my front yard.
