How are you?
Yeah, I can see and feel the collective sadness that Robin`s passing brought....
Strange how always someone`s death brings people together more than anything they have ever done while they were alive.
Famous or not, it`s seems to me that that is almost always the case.
The other day, an American Idol Alumni died, Michael Johns, he was contestant on Season 7, maybe somebody remembers him. Young, only 35, a stupid blood cloth killed him.
I don`t think I have seen anything about him anywhere for years in the media or on the net, social groups etc...but when he died...geez man, seemed to me like everybody loved him or was even his friend.
Tears on the grave-site mean nothing, appreciate the people you love while they are alive.
Tragic losses, though. :(

I wasn`t around for a while, wanted to be there for and with my daughter this summer more than usual ( if that is even possible ), school starts in less than a month, she is quickly growing up, from the baby-like little thing that was running around my legs, she very quickly became a little girl, a little human, a little more serious than she used to be with a lot more serious questions than before. Some of them I`m not too keen on answering, the parents here will know which ones and why that is no easy task. And they will also understand why, besides the tremendous happiness you feel that your kid is growing up healthy and becoming really smart, in the heart of the parent is also a certain kind of sadness. Yeah, you will know, I don`t have to write that down.

As for Sai King, of course the good, ole master of Love is always somewhere in my life, even though I wasn`t too keen about MM, as Chris Walken would say " Needs more cow-bell", but it was still an entertaining summer-read. Looking forward to all these movie adaptations of his work and of course, awaiting Revival.
As a family, we are OK...just like the rest of you here. Nothing super special, but nothing all too bad either, thank God, lately. All good, all healthy, broke and the usual, you all know and live the story.
A bit out of the loop what`s happening here, I was lurking from time to time, but didn`t go into much detail, I think you had a great time again at the KingKon this summer, judging by the pics in the thread. Good stuuf, the magic of the board still works. :)
So yeah, nothing spectacular, wanted to check in and hear how you are all doing, enough about me, tell me what`s going on in your life, if you wish to do so. :)
Know that even when I`m not here for periods of time, I am still here, for I always have to come back and check on the pieces from my heart and soul that I left with you and they are embedded in this board like in no other. :)
And one last salute to the great Robin Williams:

It`s not surprising that there was a beautiful meteor shower the other night.
It is the least the Heaven`s could do, when they are expecting somebody so extra-ordinary like Robin Williams was, to come and join them.

Welcome back :love: It's always good to see you back with us. Summer is going by much too quickly for me but enjoying the quiet before the storm that will be coming this fall once projects start rolling out.

Hey, you. :)
You got a real summer yet? Cause we don`t.
Yeah, a hot and muggy day here and there, but no, it`s not like the summers I remember in my life, when Summer meant - Summer!
You get a tan in a matter of 3 days...
Not happening this season.
Projects and stuff...good for the fans something`s got rolling again, but also more excitement for you.
I know you had all the excitement ever anybody can wish for, but one or seven more is not gonna hurt. :)
Love you lots, my dear friend. :heart:

We had a slow start but have had a more summer-like second half. You're probably happy about it not being as hot, though, with your dislike of the hot weather. :smile2:
Not as busy a year as it was in 2013 but several things coming up between A Good Marriage out in October, Revival and Ghost Brothers (including 2 shows right here) in November, and getting ready for the 2015 book releases. Guess I should be thinking of it as job security. :wink:
Love you lots, too--cyber hugs and kisses for you and your family coming your way. :biglove:

So good to hear from you again. You paint pictures with your words. Keep writing. Enjoy that little girl. My daughter is now 42 with children of her own. Time snuck up and took my little girl and turned her into a wonderful wife, mother and daughter but I miss the small version who needed her mommy.

Srbo! It's good to see you back here. :biggrin2: Those darn kids, they just grow and grow way too fast. I'm glad to hear that you all are doing well.

What's going on with me is we moved a few months ago and it was A LOT of work to pack up and clean. And then it has been a lot of work to unpack... But we are finally feeling settled in and most of the boxes are gone. Other thank that everything seems to be going pretty well.

Srbo,
Sir we haven't officially met, for I am new to the board, but know of you. It is a great pleasure to finally introduce myself to you. I am the other half of the GNTLGNT, and he has helped introduce everyone to me and have had the great pleasure of meeting some of you, in the flesh, as well.

Summer hasn't felt like Summer here at all. Very cool, to cool actually and no chance for a tan.
Get a couple of nice days , get that base burn, then the rain and cold sets in for a few days or weeks as it was in July.

Summers were playing in a rain puddle after a quick rain shower, riding my bike till it was almost dark. Catching fireflies and putting them in a jar, water balloon fights, helping in the garden and mom do some canning. Guess that's what becoming an adult takes away from you, that sense of being young and having fun.

We are doing well, vacation went by to quickly as they always do. Our oldest son is still doing his training in our Army, is doing very well for himself. Very proud of him. Our youngest is thinking of following his brother in the Army as well. Which will be a very good thing for him. He has come a long way and is almost back to the young man we once knew. My daughter and her son are living with us, or as GG puts it, using us like a hotel or storage facility. But times are tough in our area, the Gas and Oil boom here has driven real estate to ridiculous, so a single mother, with a good job, still can't afford to be on her own.

Overall our health has been good, for a couple who have reached and passed that half century mark. Some of the usual stuff, but over all thankful we are still able to get up everyday and smell the roses.

Our children grow so quickly, later years so much becomes a blur. I'm thankful for me obsession with picture taking, I have preserved many, many moments. Now that I am a Grandparent time seems to move by even more quickly.

Enjoy these times, take mental notes, and cherish everyday.

Hope to hear more from you,
Blessings to you and yours
