Hey! They didn't even go to the ETS! They went to the American Academy of Religion! Well, Welcome back anyway.

So besides having too much fun, and enjoying all the buds, what did you take in?
Meph, Was it better than ETS?
Modes, How do you spell Deidre and what did he have to say?
Electra, What question did you ask this year?

Doc, Did you present a paper? Doc? Are you there, Doc? Al and Tom have been holding down the fort here, but it would be nice to hear from ya.

What were some topics of interest that were presented?
Who saw the ossuary?

Al, Tom, and...Fred!

Actually Al and Fred combine to make Alfred. And of course, Thomas is a combination of Tom + ?...ooops, don't anybody say it!

That's great, Tom. (I won't say it.) That's even worse than Al + PoW. (Think dog food.)

Alllllrighty then!!

Sup, people. It's been too dang long! Yes,indeed. It's time for me to get the cobwebs off my keyboard and start postin' some more. And here is where I'll start. I'll say lots more, but here's the short of it...

Toronto was the friggin BOMB! Nuthin but that FIRE!

I'll be getting my eval out probably by tommorrow sometime. Modes and Electra can get there's out too.

Let me just say that I genuinely miss y'all and really appreciate the prayers. I'm very grateful. For those who know some details and those who don't, just know that peace is really descending on your man here. Peace. Joy. Hope. You know...all that Holy Ghost stuff.

And that's what counts. It's said that diamonds form from coal by way of time,heat,and pressure. Lots of it, right? Well,I think that's what God's been doing with me. God's been doing the work, and I think God's taking some of the black wounds out of me and givin' me some shine. And for that, I'm eternally grateful. Hurts? Hell, yeah. But nothing worse that many people deal with everyday. Besides, pain's a good goad to better things...if you don't CHOOSE to dwell in misery. And I say forget that. Heh.

Soooo...once again, thanks for the prayers and know that they did help. AND I'll be back on this more tomorrow. Back in a minute, Springs. Holla!!!!!

PS: Modes, I believe the lovely Springs means "Derrida"

I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun shiny day."

Hey Mephi!!!
Good to have you back! Thanks for the spelling of 'Dareda'.

Modes won't be back for a few more days. I got to talk to him a bit between his travels, and he's still bound and determined to get you up here. I for one, think you'll love it. It's around 2 degrees today. Refreshing! fasheezy!

I'm glad to hear God answered our prayers for you. Everybody needs a break from character development occasionally.

I had the most fun and got the most out of ETS and AAR that I've ever gotten...

I also didn't go to ANY academic sessions except my own and John Sanders...

And that probably explains why I enjoyed myself so much!

Just a lot of good hang'n out with friends, good dialogue, friendly debate, good fun....

loved seeing Meph. love hearing him back on the site.
