Am I close, dear Boomer?

PS: Think it's about time to start another never-ending story? We miss your stories ala soap style with the goofy characters.
Oh Barb, aka Skuppy Garfield. Kind words. But.....(sigh) I once dreamed of writing a newspaper column. But ironically I did not think I would have any staying-power (she said 2000+ posts into TOTV) and now that I have quit my day job (sigh) there are no newspapers. None that would want me anyway. And besides, this is much more fun. No deadlines and I can wallow in my bad punctuation.

Also Barb, that long winter when I used to meet the old-timers in my kitchen on those cold mornings, that was when I told you that my soap opera name is Rusty Eden and then I made up little vignettes after people gave me their soap opera names, but I was not in the longer story that appeared later. By that time I knew my limits and had to quit while I still could. Soooo long ago when we used to have a post maybe every half hour around here, and I think there were two forums.

But I remember Skuppy and all the others, too, who showed up. That kitchen with the desk has since been remodeled and the desk has moved to a sunroom. Had I put this infernal computer in a dark corner of the basement like I always planned to do, Boomer would have not been tempted so often to look in here and find a place to land and start writing mostly silly stuff.

And now, I must get out of here today. I have some plans later with friends that I can actually see.

Bye for now, Skuppy.
