     Hi Cyberpope --   
      
   > I'm 99% sure I was in this echo 20 or so years ago,   
      
     Welcome back.   
      
   > when I was that much younger   
      
     Weren't we all? :)   
      
   > Memories? I have a few that've survived various cerebral purges over the   
   years. . .   
      
     My memory is so good, I remember stuff that never happened.  :)   
      
   > I'll reasd a bit in the echo sese how you guiys are conversing before dong   
   more than just introducing myself to say hi. .    
      
     It's pretty quiet around here.  A lot of lurkers (come out, come out,   
   wherever you are) and a few posters.   
     We've lost people since your day.  Some have just dropped out, some   
   disappeared, some have died, and a few are probably in a witness protection   
   program.   
     Bill White retired as mod years ago with Jim White (no relation) taking   
   over who retired and turned over the mace and orb to me.     
     Earlier this year Nancy Backus died.  You may remember her.   
     I had the pleasure of meeting Jim and Nancy in Rochester, NY a couple of   
   years ago.   
     Daryl Stout is in and out and he had the pleasure of meeting me a couple   
   of years ago as well on my grand tour around the US.   
     Ed Vance is still around, met him a couple of times.   
      
   > I'm in Metro Vancouver   
      
     I'm in Huntington, WV, on the Ohio River were Ohio, Kentucky and WV meet.   
      
   > a major heatwave :(    
      
     We had some warm weather a few weeks ago, in the low triple digits.    
   Usually our summers are only in the 90s and often humid enough to drown a fish.   
     Our winters aren't that bad but this last February we had a big cold wave   
   with below freezing temps for a couple of weeks, with lots of ice and snow   
   that lasted much too long.  Rather Arctic like, which is unusual for us.  We   
   usually run in the 20s to 40s.   
     It snows here from time to time but three inches is enough to shut down   
   the town.  :)        
      
   > half paralyzed from a burst aneurysm(you heard right   
      
     Sheesh.   
      
   > I work PT, 4 hours/week   
      
     I retired five years ago but the company can't do without me and back to   
   almost full time.   
      I am in private security and mostly its sitting around looking   
   important.  But for the most part I'm inside, warm (or cool) and dry.   
      I am planning on re-retiring in January.   
      
   > Rediscovering BBSes & Fidonet (memory: nÿ Fight-o-Net-remember?) (   
      
     Not really, I have been in Memories since the early '90s and we have   
   always been a peaceful bunch.  Too old to fight mostly.  :)
