Hey Nancy

Hey Paul.... good to see you surface here again.... :)

I know I'm really bad at keeping in touch, posting to this echo etc.
But just to say Hi and hope all is well with you.

Hanging in there, and trying to stay somewhat current... ;) Hope all is
well with you as well... I've seen you've been keeping busy with Mystic development/testing...

Good to see you're still active in this echo and keeping those packets flowing around the globe :)

I try... ;)

Here's another one back at ya!

And a response, to keep it going... <G> You'll be heading out of
winter into spring now... is your weather cooperating...??

Yeah I try to pop up from time to time. Not sure if it's to delight and surprise or to shock and amaze or ?? :)

But just to say Hi and hope all is well with you.

Yes have been keeping active not as much in the Mystic testing as before but still supporting new users and folks just wanting a pathway back into BBSing. Quite a few move on to other software once they have their dipped their toes
in the pond and that's good too... plenty to play with.

I'm clad you're keeping current, hopefully it will rub off? :)

You're doing great!

And a response, to keep it going... <G> You'll be heading out of

Yes spring now, blossom is out on the cheery tree and tulip bulbs and
daffodils are coming up now. Temps are still cool but I am starting to see
the light at the end of the cool tunnel now.

Hey Paul.... good to see you surface here again.... :)

Well, I'd take it as delight, anyway... ;) Wouldn't mind if it were
more often so that it wouldn't be that much of a surprise... <G>

Support is rather important, too... :) And the early encouragement can

Certainly wouldn't mind your sticking around... :)

Columbia Maryland is northeast of Washington DC and slightly south and
west of Baltimore MD... Wake Forest North Carolina is north and a little
east of Raleigh NC... The trip went well, it was the annual Cooking
Echo Picnic, this year hosted in Wake Forest... Lots of cooking and
eating and talking... all very good as usual... :)

My own car was being a little unreliable, so to be on the safe side, I
hired a vehicle from Hertz... it turned out to be a 2019 cherry red
Dodge Grand Caravan... got me there and back safely... :)

That would have been the Cooking picnic. I wanted to go but Don's not been well so travel was out.
