[Hiram's Ghost]

Brings a tear to the eye. Thanks for the warm welcome, folks. I did miss many of you while I was away. I was necessary that I go away though. Life had become difficult to deal with but things are somewhat better now. I’d rather not get into the details in here.

I wish I had a picture of my newest niece online. She is 7 months old and 12 lbs now. When I make her laugh hard enough, she breaks wind. Hehe Just like her uncle!! Anabella has big brown eyes and loves to stare at me while she attempts to talk. She has this little walker thing she sits in but her tiny legs aren’t long enough to make her go anywhere. I’ve also taught my twin nieces how to play dominoes with my sister’s video tapes (to the consternation of my sister). It’s so much easier playing with other people’s kids.

I’m really glad to see Neb, Regin and Lioness in here. I admit I was surprised that so many of you remembered me. Ah well, I’ll refrain from the self-deprecating comments this once and just say thanks.
