Whee! just gave me a text page! Hi!

This morning, after recovering from the nightmare, I checked my mail. (BB crashed again last night. time to get and install the new ram… that’s enough.)

I got a letter from someone I’ve probably not seen in about 5-9 years. Robin Tunkel… a guy I hung out with, gamed with while I was at FAU/working at the Library. A nice enough guy, he started dating a girl after I dated her. That was weird. He found me on a gaming list… accessdenied, and is in Jacksonville now. I wonder if he’s changed as much as I have. I wrote him back, and I’ll be interested in seeing what went where. He and I both had some ugly sides to us at that I’m happy to have left in the dust… bits of shell crumbled slowly off over time. I like who I am now a lot more than who I was/Who I hung around with then.

He went through some tough times, spent a week on my floor at my old apartment, when I was in a smaller efficiency than I’m in now. A different time, short hair, tight, or no beard. A period of playing Shadowrun/GURPS/Hero System. Other folks from that time include James Dawsey (a roomie for a while), Pam, Just started hanging out with Ray and Kathleen. Just finsihed hanging out with Brent and Steve. Robin & James were some of the only friends of mine to go to my father’s funeral, years ago.

Paul is quitting here today at five. That’ll be a big bummer… he’s the most easy-going account manager I know. Diana needs to take some of his calm-lessons. Terri will suffer a great deal, as I imagine she’ll take on all of his responsibilities. Lately, they’ve been staying until 7ish at night, getting on top of some of our new jobs, but with one of them gone, it’ll be really rough.
