I finally forced myself to get back to my bio. It's been quite some time since I started it and I wanted to at least go all the way from beginning to present.
Although there are gaping holes in it, which I intend to fill-in as I go along, at least now I have a frame-work on which to build.
There are stories that I wish to go into more detail with, which I will write as the mood strikes me -- and as time permits. In an effort to keep the main document as concise as possible, I will merely mention events within this overview to be used as hyperlinks to individual stories. The main document, or overview, will surely grow as I fill the gaps, and add a word here; a sentence there, in order to link to these life stories as I write them.
If you get a chance, by all means check it out.
One other change to my main page. I added "our two cats," to my introduction. This change was made to include the story about our two cats which I wrote for last week's column.
BTW: I didn't think it was possible, but my hit count last month actually went *down*! Not many more hits than those which are my own.
I decided this morning to check in at StarMUD, and catch up on the news there. I found out that all of the time I had spent building up my character "Tobac" was for naught. Tobac is history. They purged the player file ... again.
In light of this development, I have removed the reference to StarMUD from my home page. Maybe I'll start a new character some day, but I don't know if it will be on StarMUD. I do like the way MUDs work though, and I would like to use one for chats. I do not at this time have any need for it though since I have been communicating via telephone or email.
So, for now anyway, I am MUD-less -- without MUD. If I ever get a group of people together who want to chat -- and that I want to chat with -- I will start my next character for the purpose of social interaction more so than game-play.
