I gotta say, getting old is getting me down. Yeah, I know, I'm not THAT old, but it's happening. Love and adventure have become distant dreams of my youth. I ought not complain much though. Those years were good, blessed with loves and adventures to entertain my memories for years to come. But now, the mundane is my master. I live a monastic life. I serve my children and there is room for little else. Real love and real adventure don't sprout from mere little cracks in time. They need great mountains, lush valleys and broad vistas. So, my point in this, is to bid thee all farewell. No longer will I visit here to refresh the naked memories of my youth. I figure it best to part before I become some creepy old man ...if, in fact, I'm not already. I dunno how long it will be before this membership runs out, but when it does, I am done. To those who still wander down this alley, and to those who had before, I thank you all for the energy we've shared. I imagine some of us will somehow cross paths again in some other realm. Whether or not that should come to pass, I wish you well in your endeavors. May your loves and adventures, and even the mundane, be delicious and enchanting.

Fare the well...
