Default Well, Boo Asked Me To Come Back.
Hi all,

Boo asked me to come back as her busy school and work schedule precludes her from visiting as often as she used to and this is how she keeps track of me.

So I'm going to poke around a bit, write a few short stories for Boo and ask a couple of questions on the nature of light and a question about orbits in the proper forums.

See you all later this evening.

BD

Sorry, but who's "Boo"?

Welcome back, stick around, you're one of the only faces I really enjoy here!

Oh, I hadn't known. However I'm glad she wanted him back.

Well, it's about time, dammit!

Hope you enjoyed your vacation.

Now back to work at the BAUT!

Welcome back Bigdon, I have been wondering what happened to Serenitude as well.

Serenitude's work responsibilities and hours increased about mid-November. This reduces the amount of time he can spend here.

Although he does like to drop by now and then to do a random banning.

Well, if you don't keep in practice, all that banning muscle starts turning into fat.

Which evening? I was hoping to get to read some of Don's stories (and answer his orbit questions) before I left for the holidays. [I'm flying to my parents tomorrow, and so I'll have limited net access for about three weeks.] I guess I have some high-priority posts to look for whenever I manage a wireless connection.

Hopefully, we'll get a peek @ Boo after school break begins Friday, and BD gets back to us after his annual pilgrimage to back-alley Edinburgh Castle , newspaper-wrapped fish-and-chips firmly in hand...
