- Rounder is tidying up the corner of the plAce where he has been lurking on and
- off for a while. Well, folx, it's about time I put my affairs in order. I'm
- going to be gone for a while, and I want to take care of a few things before I
- go. I'm going to be net-deprived for about the next five weeks while I take a
- wilderness EMT course in New Hampshire. I've been looking forward to this
- course for a while (two years actually), because I always feel underprepared in
- emergency situations, and if I'm going to be leading other people's children
- around in the middle of the wilderness, I damn well better know what I'm doing.
- At the same time, the timing of this couldn't be worse. I just moved into a
- new appartment, and my housemate and I have been looking for someone else to
- live with. We need to find someone soon, because frankly, the rent is just two
- much for two people. In a way, I feel like I'm dumping this problem on her, if
- we don't find someone before I leave. I also feel guilty about leaving her
- with sobathedog; she said that she'd take care of him, but her time is tight as
- it is, and I don't want to burden her further with my problems.
-
- That said, let me offer a drink to our most recent newbies, Laz, MAURAUD,
- Magda-wolf, and Delilah, whom I have not yet greeted. (and a round for anyone
- else who wishes it) I've enjoyed my time in Callahans over the last couple of
- months, and look forward to rejoining y'all in March, hopefully as a liscensed
- EMT, qualified to save you all. Should the urge strike you, snail mail will
- reach me at: Patrick Cahn
- c/o SOLO
- RFD 1, Box 163
- Conway, NH 03818, until march 5, when I will return here.
-
- Before I go, I'd enjoy a last dance. The floating dance floor appears again,
- having been in hiding for a while. Rounder shouts "strike up the band!" and
- four men in polyester suits appear, playing what sounds like watered down Muzak
- versions of Abba's greatest hits. "No, No, 'band!' B-A-N-D, no L in there at
- all!" With that the men disappear, replaced by the house band, with
- (hopefully) Tanais on fiddle, who strike up a lively tune. Anyone care to join
- me...
-
- Cheers and Hugs to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
