I would have pounded my way into here on opening day but life has been anything but normal for me. Those who read this and know me, know this is nothing unusual. On July 29th I had knee surgery. The original intent was to do some repair work to my medial and lateral miniscus. About 11 years earlier I had gone through ACL surgery on the same knee ... I love basketball, but it doesn't love me back. While the Dr was in doing the miniscus work, he was also going to test the ACL. The ACl freyed undered the test and so was replaced. The twisted part of this was that my wife had her 20 yr class reunion that weekend. I did not want to see her miss this event because it is a lifetime of great memories. Everyone should go to their reunion when the time comes. Luckily we own a Yukon Denali. I crawled into the very back of the vehicle, dropped the middle row to rest my leg, popped a few vicodin, and endured the 9 hr drive to NM for my wife's reunion. Thank God I was pain free from the surgery. I went through soreness from walking around (on crutches) and took time here and there to ice up and take a few more vicodin, but the trip was a success. I'm back at work today and things are going well. As always, I have work to catch up on from taking ten days off, but I love my job so no complaints. As for Mizahar, thank goodness this place is finally open!! I will always love the 'other' game world but could find no further inspiration to play in it. Too many times I saw claims to great things with no follow through from the owner. The staff would do their best for the players, but the owner would still manage to sweep in, screw it all up, piss off his staff, watch them all quit, and then scramble to restaff. The people made the game work, but the ownership simply managed to jack things up too often and then disappear. I did a lot in that game and wanted to do more, but began losing interest. Only my friends kept me around because I loved to talk to them. Mizahar has given me a renewed interest in roleplaying. I feel creative again and want to RP with as many of you as I can. Well done to all of you who put this together. Jen has told me the names but I cannot remember them all. To only identify some of you without congratulating all of you (because I do not remember all of your names) feels kind of empty, so I will leave it at WELL DONE to the entire staff of Mizahar!! |

Dan- Thanks for the kind words first and foremost. One of the things I really enjoy about our friendship is how down to earth and what kind of a great family man you are. I can really tell you love your wife and would go the extra mile for her every time. Those are the type of people I like to be around because they inspire me to be a better person myself. I'm glad your knee is healing up and you made the incredible effort to get your wife to her reunion. I agree too that they are very important. Thanks for being here with us. It means a lot. |

I'm glad to see you here too. I don't really know you, never really interacted, but I know that those who do have enjoyed doing so, so I'm following you here with interest and I'm looking forward to having the chance to RP with you. |
