I know there may be some misguided soul out there who longs for the OLD days of yore, or something like that, and you may have been hunting
for all your old friends. Until now I've ignored you and have stayed discreetly invisible on the Internet. That doesn't mean I haven't been
active on it though. My several alias have been busy little bees. But never mind that. This is for you, because, dammit, if you actually
remembered my name or where I lived or went to school or whatever, or just MUST find everyone who went to your high school (which sucked, btw)
and were determined enough to
like this, then ... well here's your google fodder.
