So it was '98 (or was it '99? Who cares?). Late September. I was preparing for my anual trip north. An experience I like to call "The Anual Tour Of Diners". I wasn't happy with my internet provider so I fired him before I left, thinking, I'll find one of those new fangled high speed jobs when I get back. After a 5 week sojourn in the van without the 'puter or tv I found I was quite happy to be that way. Just got on line today (business - yeach!- dictates). So here I am. Miss me?

oh, my god!! if it wasn't for the fact that i'm so happy to see you here alive and kicking, i'd have to bitch at you (and you know i can do that well) for taking off and not letting anyone know if you were okay! you've definitley been missed!!

Holy shit, batman! These crazy musicians! Deb, you don't have to bitch at him. Wait 'til Sherry finds out. Just to piss him off I think I'll move this to Moose Friends Network.

Glad to see you, billy. What else have you been up to besides not online in all this time?

No, on second thought I'll leave it where it is. If he managed to lose the whole site, he'd get way too confused if his thread got moved.

Hey Billy,
I've been wearing some dorky T-shirts cause your site went down, and I couldn't get what I wanted. Can I get one now? ................ Mark

we were all certain that that kid came a-knockin' at your door... you know, the one that said "DADDY!" when you opened it!!

glad to see you're still hangin' in there...

Billy!

I'm glad you're back!

I don't believe I've had the honor, as yet... but since all these other blunderful people are glad you're back, then I will take that as a testimony to your goodness as a human being!

Looking forward to getting to know you...

you know that feeling of heightened and hugely conflicting emotions when a kid runs away from home and makes you worry ..but then shows up one day at the door?

well.....

have you ever heard of a phone? a postcard? a freaking carrier pigeon????

damn billy...you shouldnt scare your family that way.

now come sit down and have something to eat, tell us all about where you've been and never EVER do this to us again!

welcome home billyb.....ken and i sure are glad to see ya!

I have just ordered from Radio Shack a global positioning microchip that we will have installed in Billy via an orifice to be named later.....just so we don't misplace him again. We do need a volunteer chip installer. Any takers?

Welcome back, I think

What Wyld said. These folks are crazy but so am I<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/alien1.gif" width=25 height=16>, so I totally trust their judgment. looking forward to getting to know you.--Ceas

see what you did to mark, billy! he's so amazed at seeing you here again that he can't even figure out how to be him.

wyld and ceashel...billy is the other resident folkslinger around here. he just took a long vacation and didn't bother to let anyone know where he went! i'm thinking his picture is in the gallery somwhere. if i'm not mistaken it was of billy, todd, larry and arlo and titled "surrounded by folksingers"...or something like that.
