well next time they ask me if I'm coming, I'll say no and spend my time on something else even better... Like harassing the crap out of you.

Haha thanks Joseph! I really need it. I am a small and shy person and I am sure I will do fine there making friends and on the way home I have to fly home alone and there will be a layover in Philadelphia, and I live in NC!!!! 
Hey! As long as you're having fun!! But watch out for the guards. If you get yourself banned again, who am I going to harass then? uh? Next time bring a date to your vacation, then disappear with her in the middle of it!!!! Much more fun than harassing me!!

I'm going to be gone from the 14-21st in New York! 
Sorry I've been away so much. Sadly, that's not going to change much for now anyway. I just started a new job after being laid off from the last one. Things are very different in my world these days. I do apologize. I don't mean to let anyone down. Things have been crazy for a bit now in my world. I know a lot of things will change. I'm watching what the Lord is doing...and it's interesting to see. He's done some mighty things. But, life won't be the same again as it's been for the last several years. I'll try to pop in as much as I can and try to make things fun.
In a lot of ways I'm sorry that PC was soooo big in splitting fans as well. I'm a die-hard book purist in many respects...most people know that. I can't be any less. For old time friends, if I offended anyone I'm sorry. I'm excited for VDT...but it took personally talking to Mark Johnson to get me to that point. I've been wary for a long time now on it. Most fans who love Lewis' works in general as opposed to just Narnia are wary. We'll have to wait and see what happens. Things changed a ton on the forum after PC came out...and I wish things were back to the way they used to be in the good old days. But they're not. I do love soooo many people on here though and I miss getting to talk to everyone...probably more than you know. Real life caught up with me and kicked my tail a bit.
I'll try to be around... but I'll have a lot more days off here and there. There's a ton to sort out in my world. Just getting through most days is a struggle for me. Wanting to get through most days is a struggle at times as well...but by the grace of God I will. God is good and He is faithful. I'm gonna hang on to Him and I'll make it yet. Hopefully we'll get more contests going as well. There was a great turn out for the first one....Lord willing the next few will be wonderful as well. Hopefully I'll have the strength to keep up. I don't have much strength these days. I'm exhausted all the time. Again, I'll just depend on God. I'll keep praying for the VDT cast and crew as well. I hope things are going well for everyone here. I miss yall.

Roaring back!
As Copperfox mentioned, I am indeed back. How active I will be here is anyone's guess at this time. The last year has been the hardest year of my life, and it has been hard to deal with the nearly continuous negative change. I am hoping against hope that things will improve a bit now. But none of us can tell what is around the next corner... I just wish i could truthfully say and mean, 'I'll take the adventure that Aslan sends my way'. For most real life adventures are not filled with derring-do and chivalrly. (And if you read the Chronicles carefully, you will see this was true of the children's experiences, too.
For those of you patiently waiting for more on 'The Lion's Share', you are going to have to have more patience. I'm sorry, I hate patience tests, too. I had every intention of having it back on line by now, but the Lord apparently did not want me to bring it back when I had nearly a week to get going on it back in late March/early April. I was spending a week in Pahrump, Nevada taking care of someone's 'kitties' for a week while they took a badly needed trip. I had everything I needed to restart work on 'The Lion's Share' when i discovered I did not have the story itself. To this day, I have not figured out why this happened. But I cried for a very long time when I discovered I would not be able to take advantage of that important opportunity to put life back into that story. But if all goes well, I will have another opportunity in late September to attempt a re-start. It will be the same conditions. Hopefully I will not be 'blessed' with missing a file, being sick with a bad cold (worst in years), and suffering from severe untreated sleep apneia, all at the same time. (I have since started therapy, and said therapy is eating significantly into my available time. But it is working.)
As you will read in the 'Other fantasy worlds' thread, I just spent a number of days with Coppefox in Colorado, attending the Colorado Renaissance Fair. We both had a fabulously wonderful time, the best time I have had since 2006! I hope there will be a few pictures when everything is sorted out (about the only thing that went wrong is my digital camera broke. I did have a 'backup film camera', and hopefully got a few good pictures with that.) In any case, I arrive home back here in Reno with the hope that this marks a turning point in what has been an extended dark, troubled time in my life. With that, I will leave you to read the extended accounts both Copperfox and myself have posted about the fair.

It has been a long time since I've gotten on TDL...things have changed a bit I think! But I wanted to put in an appearance this summer. (I did try earlier in the summer, but for some reason I couldn't log in.) I'm on break from college until the middle of August, so hopefully I'll be able to come on from time to time, at least until school starts again. For those who remember me at all (a sheepish grin here...), I'm doing very well, heading into my junior year of college, and anticipating the next two years with excitement. So far college has been a wonderful experience. I am still heading for a B.A. in Liberal Arts, still pretty much all the same things I always was... Anyway, I look forward to seeing you all around again. Get in touch with me if you want to catch up -I'd love to know how you're doing!
