hey all. back after a long , too long time away.
« on: April 27, 2015, 07:50:36 AM »
hope all you DUDES are doing well.  I have been away for a long while

My health is still doing great.  No sign of the C word.   lost about 40 pounds so in better shape than i have been in 10 plus years.

My divorce is finally moving along.  Dating at 58 is interesting  LMAO

gigging a lot the last 15 months or so. 

AND FINALLY BACK TO WORK....  corporate america has allowed me back in....   Actually working at a startup Fin Tech   new buzz phrase - short for financial technology company.   pay is decent with some equity involved...

Awesome man, sounds like things are going great.

Dating at 58 - can't say I envy you there. Good luck and be careful. LOL !

Great news! You got a good job and a rocking band, can't imagine you'll be single too long. All the best to ya.

Congratulations on all levels. Great to get a fresh start. Am sure you struggled against many odds on all fronts. Accumulate good fortune and find that right partner.

Welcome back!  I can say that my girlfriend (hopefully wife to be) at 60 is the most incredible woman I've ever known.  I've never had a better relationship....so, go for it.

Sounds great.  Congratulations on everything going so well.
