[TheForge] Back from the Virtual dead and into the future

[Rob Fertner]

Greetings, All!
I have been without a computer since last week. It's been cold and lonely
without you guys. I'm back in the land of the virtuous...I mean.... virtual
living. :-)
My computer crashed. I was able to recover most of my data, but not my pile
of e-mails.
So, those that were in direct communication with me, it would help if you
resent your last e-mail to me, so that I can pick up the thread from there.

I hope each and every one of you have a Happy and Joyous New Year. I'm very
nervous right now. Tonight at midnight, I'm going to propose marriage to my
girlfriend.  So, none of you tell her, it's a suprise. :-)
I've been a widower for over 2 1/2 years. I'm scared and excited, all at the
same. Someone once told me, "Out of the ashes of the old, a new fire can be
kindled." Didn't make much sense to me back then, but I think I understand
it now.
Ring the New Year In Hammerin'
