Hey guys, long time. Hope everyone's been hanging in there or better these last however many months since I was last tuning in regularly. I see a lot of very cool stuff.
Just before I tuned out for a while, I'd told you guys about our upcoming move home to Alabama, to bring the Love Brigade (our family) to bear in full force in my mother's battle with cancer. Well, it wasn't to be, Mom had other plans, and left us a month or so later, in November of last year. So we packed up again and moved right back here to CO in December. Thanks again for the support you guys showed back then. It played its part.
When we got back to CO, the separation/divorce plans that had been on the back burner while we went to be with Mom, went in to effect. That's tough stuff, as many of you know, I'm sure. I'm finally coming out the other side of a period during which I didn't give much of a damn about anything, other than my boys, who eventually reminded me who I was, and who I wasn't willing to be. So ... I'm back!
This is not a request for prayers or pity, though I've been there, and you guys helped me a lot. This is me re-engaging, saying "what's up?!", and getting back in to the things I'm in to. And what's the relevance to the EBMM universe? Well, after over 15 years, I'm finally joining a band, here in Boulder. A funk band. Well, I'm auditioning soon, but I feel good about it. And in any case, even if it's not that particular band, the decision's been made ... it's time to join or assemble some lads.
But for the first time in many years, I am bassless, so I'm looking to acquire something asap, and of course, it <see title>. Divorce = duplicated expenses, support of two households, etc.., so needless to say, I'm looking for a screamin deal (aren't we all). Something in a pre-owned Ray34 for starters - that type of thing. I've been hitting the pawn shops, looking for one of those once in a blue moon crazy finds, no luck yet.
So that's my request - if you see a crazy good deal that you're compelled to pass on yourself, please let me know, PM or whatever. Much appreciated.
Good to be back.
