Hi all,
I've heard from a few people now that I've been missed so I want to say up front how very sorry I am to have been out of touch for so long. If I had known the last time I signed off of Vent months and months ago that it would be this long until I was to return I for sure would have said something to those that I was close to here.
The story of my absence isn't a particularly interesting one, though it does have a high point, just some of those life events that conspire against us from time to time. It all started when I ended up loosing my computer to a power supply failure that took out a good portion of the inards along with it. Its replacement that I scrounged up for was taken out by a thunderstorm a short time thereafter. This left me in a pretty bad spot to get a replacement with the holidays approaching and school and home bills needing to be paid for. So pile all that on top of the normal workload of schoolwork, housework, and being a good father and husband and maybe you can understand why it's taken me a while to be able to join you all once again. The good news from since we last talked however is that my wife and I are expecting our third child this summer, something we are quite happy about, though this will of course place new demands on my free time as things move along.
Looking back, I should have made a better effort to get in touch sooner and I am very sorry that I didn't do that. Had I known how worried some folks where I for sure would have done so. Sometimes real life just snowballs on us a bit more than we expect. Hopefully all my friends here can forgive my long absence as I would very much like to game beside you all as we used to do.
Sincerly,
CopperAle
